Excel "seeking refuge"

I picked this up used awhile back from a local record store but just now got around to jamming it. Suprisingly I really dig it. I figured since it was an album from a punk band released in 1995 not to have huge expectations, but I was wrong. Its very much crossover like their other albums, a little groove here and there that I can tolerate, but its really cool. I think what sets it apart is the vocals are not in that hetfield groove vein like every heavy 90s metal band, but still very punk with a little melody. I can pick out a ton of bad brains influence also.

I have their Split Image CD. It's pretty dang good too.

gonna have to scope this out. Never heard of them. Thanks Chris

oh yeah what happened to those ol' Pantera shows.... probably the same thing that happened to thode demos

Oh dang dude! I totaly forgot about that! Ill hook you up man, I have a couple from power metal and maybe one or two from projects in the jungle.

I'm not aware of excel. will have to dig them up.

The Venice skate punk/crossover sound was always cool.

That's the Excel album people love to hate. I dig it, though, but probably because it was the first album I'd heard from them. I had no expectations of sound.

Never could get into this one.I've got a copy if anyone wants it.
