ELWAY released their debut full length, Delusions, in 2011 and went on
to make quite a dent in the DIY punk scene. Armed with that breakout
album, ELWAY toured their asses off, made lotsa friends, and won over
loads of new fans. Something else must’ve happened in that time, because
ELWAY’s songwriting has further improved, and that’s clearly evident on
these four new tunes that make up Hence My Optimism. These are gutsy
and efficient punk songs, sure to please the ELWAY faithful, but even more
certain to garner them more new fans. Think THE LAWRENCE ARMS
meets PROPAGANDHI; it really is a promising step up for the band and a
big favorite here at the Red Scare HQ.
