in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) June 23, 2009 2:28 pm

Ten Second Epic — Hometown

in
By Ian Gormely (CHARTattack) March 9, 2009 3:58 pm
Edmonton's Ten Second Epic can do suburban punk with the best of them. So the question with Hometown, the quintet's sophomore album, is: Can they rise above their contemporaries? The group straddles the line between traditional pop-punk and metalcore, which ensures neither camp can outright dismiss them. But they sound trapped between wanting...
