Admiral - S/T 7"

Admiral was an emo band from Pennsylvania featuring members that would go on to form notable bands such as Navio Forge and Hoover. Honestly, this 7" was a bit of a slow burner for me...I'd listen but nothing would stick out too much for me, until one day Horns Lay Silent (the second track) came on shuffle. For whatever reason it just clicked for me. It's not a groundbreaking or life changing record, but the songs are played with a lot of heart and sincerity and it just makes you feel good.

Musically think 80's hardcore/emo with super gruff vocals and a bit of a punk rock sing along vibe. Enjoyable listen through and through and definitely worth checking out if you like the DC/Dischord style.
