Once Over Twice has the ability to grab you by the throat right on the first listen. This is DC-sounding hardcore that crackles with energy, passion and a heap of sharp melodies. It’s like a cross between Bluetip, Fugazi and a little straight-up power-rock. The powerful vocals are laced with a snarling undertone, the drums and bass pound along with precision and strength and the guitars really set it all off with some semi-discordant and incisive riffs. And over-riding it all is a bunch of hooklines and persuasive choruses that deliver punch after punch of instant appeal.
