Here's a review from AMP magazine.
"CONFRONT Life, Death, and Everything Between CD Ive said it before, so Ill say it again Im biased because Im from Boston. We have the best bands, the best scene, the best friends, etc. CONFRONT are from Boston, so they rule. Its true. They are one of the more underrated bands in the area, but with this latest CD, they should get their just due outside of the New England area. 12 fast, punishing, and seriously pissed off songs about getting pissed, standing your ground, drugs, and a bunch of other uplifting, positive things. These dudes are banned from playing just about everywhere in the city because a riot always ensues when they play the music is passionate and so are their crowd, and sometimes things get a bit out of control. With this CD, Steve has proven hes one of the best songwriters in Boston not to mention one of the angriest - and who would know better than Mark Lind of DUCKY BOYS fame, brother of White Trash Rob Lind (BLOOD FOR BLOOD), and CD tray picture cover model. Take it away, Mark! Steve Young may very well be the angriest man in Boston since White Trash Rob packed up and moved to Detroit and this release shows it. When you see Confront perform you can sense a cynicism and rage in Young's eyes and this record is a testament to that world view. Well said. (MWB)"
www.musicghost.com says "Confront's album certainly has the sound of the Boston punk/hardcore scene in it but somehow manages to rise above it with the bass heavy songs. A great album to sing along to or to get down in the pit to!"
(WARNING-Confront is not Endorsed by the "scene" or the people who control it.)
Confront is Punk,Hardcore rock and roll from the streets of Boston Massachusetts( no really..not one of the outlying suburbs or surrounding new england states.).Through the years the band has managed to develop a loyal following due to the honesty and passion in their music and live show. The band has been, and will always be just a bunch of guys from the city of Boston singing honest, fist pumping/face kicking music. Confront was born around 1999, and have since released 3 cd's with a 4th on the way,they have appeared on numerous compilations, are included in two DVD soundtracks and are currently part of the Lude Boy Records roster.From doing their own all ages shows in the city to sharing the stage with such notable acts as, Dropkick murphys, street dogs, subhumans, anti heros, ducky boys, blood for blood, avoid one thing, toxic narcotic, GBH, circle jerks, misfits, etc. Confront has worked their way as a staple in the hardcore/punk community. In early 2007 the band was faced with multiple setbacks and a decision was made to take a break and reform. A three piece since 99' Confront is now a 4 piece with a new lineup. Founding members Steve Young and Matt scanlon remain, with the addition of Ennio avallone(7th rail crew, haloburn) on guitar and Mike Mahoney(over the edge, tenafly vipers, thunderhog, bfb)on drums. Some of the faces are new but the motive is the same, if you've been around for us, you know what its all about, if you're new to this land, you'll figure it out soon enough.
All CD's and other merchandise available at www.ludeboyrecords.com We have two tracks featured on the new "Drift alliance" "bad as hell" dvd, check out their link in our friends list

Also for fans of honest, true music from the heart. We are not a band about the latest trend or look, we are not about photo shoots or fitting the bill, we spit in the face of mainstream music and mainstream looks, we despise MTV and its brainwashing of society.
We are for the people who relate to what we say and how we grew up, people who have worked for what little they have and not had it handed to them, people who know that there is always someone tougher but the hardest part about getting knocked down is getting back up. We were loners till we found one another and hopefully everyone else who have found us realize there is someone out there who feels the same way.
