Bear Vs. Shark - Terorhawk [2005]

With a great sound and one of the best band names ever, Bear Vs. Shark's sophomore effort, Terrorhawk was released in 2005 and blew people away. Their sound combined post-hardcore, punk, and yelling to create a unique genre in which they captured completely. Though Terrorhawk doesn't differ too much from their debut Right Now, You're In The Best of Hands (I'm not writing out the whole thing), it doesn't need to. They found their niche and they pull it off amazingly, it's better for something to be done well twice than for it to be done poorly several times. However, they did mix Terorhawk up a bit, adding songs like "Baraga Embankment", "What A Horrible night For A Curse", and "I Fucked Your Dad" which are slowed down and singer Marc Paffi generally sings rather than yells. Other songs, such as "Catamaran", "Entrance of the Elected", and "Antwan" show exactly what BvS is all about. Rocking out and having a good time. Unfortunately, I was never able to see them live, though I've heard it was one of the best live shows when they were together.
