Much thanks to Big Wheel and Sarah for reviewing our cd and supporting. Here is the following review that just appeared at www.bigwheelmagazine.com.
Although "California Bleeding" was released in March of this year, I got the opportunity to listen to the stellar album this month (September) and I wish I would have discovered All or Nothing H.C. sooner. Even before I listened to All or Nothing H.C., I knew I would fall in love with them, just from their album artwork displaying a movie poster with California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, mocking and criticizing him. The album, released through On the Rag Records, showcases the raw aggression and passion for justice and equality that vocalist Renae Bryant, bassist/vocalist Jared Nothing, guitarist/vocalist Ryan Doria, and drummer Eli Deluna all possess.
All or Nothing H.C. is not shy about putting their opinion out there through their intense, hardcore music, another reason I love them. Through songs like, Countdown to Extinction" (which is actually based off the title of a children’s book, because Renae Bryant anaylzed the book as much more than a simple kid’s story), "A Lot of Work to Do", inspired from Bryant’s explosion at a Human Rights Day event, and her venting about Christianity and hypocrites), "They Are We", a song about how the United States should reach out and embrace other cultures and help if necessary, and was also inspired from the book *Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion * by Diane K. Osbon. The title track, "California Bleeding", attacks the Governator for his less-than-outstanding job performance. All or Nothing H.C is similar to Naked Aggression, with a hint of Minor Threat thrown in, due to the personal, heartfelt and fiery lyrics, while remaining in your face and fierce. With each song having its own issue presented, "California Bleeding" is perfect for anyone looking for an excellent hardcore Punk sound, with intelligent and political lyrics that will leave you thinking and wanting to help All or Nothing H.C.’s goal in changing the horrors facing our society and our world.
