FALL OUT OF LINE
SLUG MAG REVIEW
Frontside Five = Nuts n’ Bolts + DOA
Fueled on cheap beer and skateboards, Frontside Five is a punk band to keep your eye on. Taking hints from 80s hardcore legends DOA and reviving the old school style 20 years later while pumping it with skate-punk reminiscent of Against All Authority is genius. Fall Out of Line pounds through 13 fast songs and the five-piece still manages to sound tight as hell. “Visions of Glory” sound like it could be found on an old Bruisers `album while “Drinkin’ Till Dawn” sounds straight from the 80s. Thanks Frontside Five for reminding me that new good punk rock bands do exist and don’t have to rock Mohawks and butt-flaps. My favorite track on the album was “Nobody Answers”, which is made perfect with the duel male and female vocals. Bad Ass. – Jeanette Moses
Frontside Five Reviews
wrapped formulaic schlock that has all the bite and vitriol of a Ziggy comic strip. That's why I get so excited when I find something like this. No Pegs, the debut full-length from the Denver-based skatepunk quintet known as Frontside Five, is a refreshing example of all of the things that I love the most about punk rock. The album contains fifteen tracks of energetic, unpretentious, thrashy skate-core (including a Faction cover) that makes a perfect soundtrack for carving concrete or inciting a circle pit rather than cuddling and counting the days until the next Hawthorne Heights album comes out. The riffs are fast and catchy and the shouted vocals are melodic enough to fit right in with the galloping drums and splashing cymbals. The songs, as you might expect, are about skating, skateboards, skate ramps, skating pools, injuries incurred by skateboarding, incarceration, wasted lives, unity and jerking off. By the time you've listened to half the songs on this album, you'll be itching to dust off your board and search for the longest stretch of concrete you can find.
The album is skate-rock, pure and simple. Whether you're into old-school stuff like JFA or Gang Green or contemporaries such as Bones Brigade, this is a fine addition to the genre and I'll be hoping for a live show the next time I'm in Denver. It's thrashy, it's fun, and it's cheap. What excuse do you have not to buy this?
The year is 2006, and punk rock music is viewed by many
Gibson-strumming burger flippers as a viable career choice rather than a creative pasttime and a way to have fun with your friends. Hundreds of "punk" bands all across America are aching to become the next Fall Out Boy or Yellowcard, and as a result, live shows are docile and well behaved, and record stores are brimming with gleaming racks of plastic-

FALL OUT OF LINE
ROUGH EDGE MAGAZINE REVIEW
"Fall Out of Line" is skate punk at its finest. Raging guitars, attitude-laden vocals, fast-paced songs and lyrics about such varied topics as skating, drinking, sex, conspiracies and nuking your neighbors(!).
Unlike too much skate punk out there, "Fall Out of Line" is neither too sticky sweet or too chaotically noisy. Instead, it's just pure rock'n'roll, unfiltered by dreams of radio airplay or by illusions of "keeping it real." The CD is rather well-produced, especially for a skate punk CD, and that's another of its bonuses. As are the occasional, but welcome, guitar solos.
"Fall Out of Line" is just the CD you want to have in your car when the guy next to you pulls up, blasting his rap or Tony Bennett CD. No matter how much power his car stereo has, you'll be louder with "Fall Out of Line" blasting from yours.
Frontside Five: Brandon Stolz - vocals; Brooke Crawford - bass; Bart McCrorey - guitar; RobDogg - drums; Shane Henry - guitars.

Fall Out of Line: CD
This is the record that I shall judge all hardcore records against for quite some time. Really, it’s that good. We’re talking serious skate rock here. From the opening chords of “Skate to Hell” (not a Gang Green cover) to the end of “Mr. Hyde,” this had me screaming and weaving through traffic. I’ve really got to stop reviewing in the car! We’re talking spastic hardcore punk with a damn near perfect mix of skating, drinking, and politics. I was almost out the door with my skate before I remember that my foot is busted. Get this now and prepare to be shredded. –Ty Stranglehold (Fivecore)
