About this Release

The "Old School / NYHC" style seems to be very popular again in the hardcore scene right now, but as we all know, every possible old school tune has been regurgitated at least ten times. Some bands do it better than others, and some add some new ingredients, breathing life into the formula and making it really special. STRIVING HIGHER do just that. Sheer old school power, comparable to more modern bands like BANE, MAINSTRIKE, POISON THE WELL and GRADE, get mixed up with influences of the US old school of hardcore like GORILLA BISCUITS, YOUTH OF TODAY and SICK OF IT ALL.

The sound STRIVING HIGHER create has evolved and seems new, fresh and full of energy. It is cool, melodic hardcore but still with enough power to blow you away. Step up, if you think you're ready...
