Despite the imposing, threatening band name, New Jersey's Knuckle Sandwich is anything but a thugged out, meatheaded hardcore band. On Nice, the music is pleasant, buoyant poppunk that's fun to listen, pogo up and down and bob your head to. Utterly upbeat, effervescent tunes like "American Song," "Show Me The Rock," and "Amber Waves of Green" make us want to chant and sing along. Singer Richie Vavrence reminds us of a more pop version of Ignite's Zoli Teglas, spouting off humorous, pop-culture references in each song. Therefore, Nice is recommended for Loud Rock shows with more of a punk leaning slant, such as those who play H2O, Ignite and other peppy-go-lucky acts. This is posicore.

This could be the breakthrough album for this NJ local band. Quickly gaining the respect and adoration of fans and other bands, Knuckle Sandwich have put together a gem of a record. Thirteen rock songs that take on topics of nationalism, integrity, and the always accepted, relationship songs all delivered in a rock-meets-punk package. The guitars on the record sound amazing and the production is top notch.The lead-off track, "American Song" has one of the most inspiring choruses ever and should be the new National Anthem. Don't be surprised if you start hearing songs from this record all over the radio, both college and commercial. And if you see it, buy it, you won't be disappointed. by Brian Luff - Grad: A
