Reflecting the urgent trademark sound of Southern California hardcore, Slow Motion Riot once again reflects the heart-on-their-sleeve attitude and self-examining honesty that has made 98 Mute a standout among the new generation of hardcore bands. Produced by kindred spirit and Pennywise guitarist Fletcher, this record exhibits the band's penchant for the charging, upbeat melodies established on their first two albums, while incorporating it into a greater sense of dynamics and technical skill.
