Nowhere Bound is a new hardcore band from the Chicago area and this is their four-song demo. They've got an Eastcoast flavor going on over these songs even though they hail from the Midwest. "Faith of the Faithless" is a bruising opener with crunching riffs; the solid breakdown makes this a great opener. "No Recourse" and "Joys of Winter" are equally as hard, showing definite influence from the 90's NYHC scene. "City of Destiny" brings to mind Sick of it All more than once; it could be a long lost b-side. Overall, this is a solid demo and I'd like to hear more from Nowhere Bound in the future.
