The Challenged

Photobucket

New York, NY based “The Challenged” sharpen the blade and cut to the quick on their 3rd release “Loaded Language”. Loaded Language is 13 tracks of perfect melodic punk that reminds us of the first time we heard Green Day’s “Kerplunk” and where we left off with Jawbreaker’s “Dear You”. Updated, clear and concise, Rob Suss (Vocals, Guitar) takes us though the visceral “disappointments and what ifs” that life unfailingly throws at us. The thick pop drumming of Mike Lindenberg, and driving, digging bass of Colin Kane meet “the good chords” and truly sincere vocals of Suss, leaving us with a melodic punk gem that will be held close in our hearts. After all, aren’t those records really the ones we love, the ones that say what we can’t?
