THE HUMAN ABSTRACT’S “VIOLENT STRIKE”

Well, no one can ever accuse The Human Abstract of losing their DIY sensibility: the band has a very good publicist and a team of hard working managers, but that’s not stopping drummer Brett Powell from sending out his own mass e-mails to the press every time the band has an update. And good for him, I say.

So. Mr. Powell’s latest e-mail alerted us to the fact that “A Violent Strike,” the opening track from the band’s forthcoming new album Midheaven, is now streaming on THA’s MySpace page. And I think the title tells you everything you need to know about the song.

Midheaven drops on August 19 on Hopeless Records. Trust me when I tell you that you haven’t heard the best material from this album yet – not even close.
