Sinking Ships – Ten — Revelation, 2007

If the rumor serves correct, this may be the swansong for Sinking Ships. I for one will be sad to see them go (if said rumor is true) as they always played a decent version of emotional melodic hardcore that the Northwest seemed to spit out weekly after the demise of Champion. Ten gives you three tracks of speedy harmonious hardcore with shouted vocals and cathartic lyrics about loves, lives, and regrets. The highlight on Ten is the cover of Seaweed's "Losing Skin." I guess after you cover such an influential band like Seaweed there's really not much for a band to do. Sinking Ships, if this is your final offering, I bid you ado and wish the band members tons of luck in whatever future endeavors they may partake in.

"Give Up" leads off Disconnecting with … Read more
