As often as I seem to mention that I don’t really like hardcore, I need to make it clear that I don’t hate it. I don’t even expect every band to be original or revolutionary, but at the same time, I’m a sucker for some semblance of melody and structure. Connecticut’s Ambitions seem to fit well as a hardcore punk band that really don’t bother me at all. They have the melody down, screaming vocals are used in the right context, not just for the sake of yelling, but for the strength and energy of the song. The band is tight, and the songs are decently constructed. This is no brilliant opus, but I bet any fan of Rise Against, Face to Face, or any of the punky melodic hardcore bands around these days, will really enjoy these guys. I don’t see any reason why not.

Bottom Line: Solid hardcore punk by a tight, and appropriately heavy band. Worth a listen.
