The Corps - From Oblivion

Four years after their last release, the full-length Tales From 2814, Vancouver’s The Corps are back with their new EP From Oblivion.  With the exception of the slower cut “The Pocket”, this EP is full of hard charging skatepunk, driven by breakneck guitar riffs, pummeling drums and an everpresent sense of melody that often brings to mind Bad Religion (vocalist Dan Garrison reminds me a little of Greg Graffin).  Lyrically the band has taken their love of comics to address real life issues around us with a comic book view.  While they have somehow eluded me before now, I am quite impressed with this EP and will definitely be checking out all their previous releases.
