The former Underoath vocalist proves to be the prefect front man for this whiskered, flannel shirt clad, grimy sextet of rockers who clearly suffer from an inability to separate the modern scream-o scene from a love of ZZ Top and good ol’ southern rock. And how brilliantly their disorder manifests on this their second album of screeching guitars and blasting drums.

II is also perhaps the most niche and bemusingly twisted concept album you will come across this year. Based on the antics surrounding cult hero Ma Baker, her infamous sons (of disaster….see what they did there!?!?) and the killing spree that ensued as the law dodging family was caught and executed in a shoot out; if this record were a film, Tarantino would be all over it.
