Released by Dim records in 2008.

Gotta love Dim records for releasing another great American band. Dont understand why many US bands have to send their demos oversees to get their stuff released.
This time the band has expanded and picked up many of ATF's old members to fill the ranks. Nathan, James and Joseph are still in the band and they have now added ATF's old vocalist Luke on guitar and Ross from ATF on lead guitar.
This made a more complete sound and even if many songs lack the quality that they had on their first release the album is smacked full of great song both lyrically and musically.
Best tracks are Fence walker, Brand new boots, Fight to win and the anthem We are vanguard exlaining ones and for all "We're not sharps and we're not racists".
Thsi record is still available in many distros so go pick one up if you like it.

  7. They are good friends of mine and I support them in their endevers, but I can say I never liked Vanguard after the original singer Justin left. It was downhill from there.
    I think they could have alot of potential if they had more variety in their sound.

  8. I have only heard 1 song from the old backstreet comp and i also liked the vocals better on that one. Still this band delivers songs that are way above the rest.
