Speak 714 - Knee Deep In Guilt (1998)
If you didn't already know, Speak 714 is another Dan O' Mahoney band that formed during the alleged "youth crew revival" of the mid 90's. With Dan and Joe from Unity/Ignite, this band released two records on Revelation; Knee Deep In Guilt and a 7" The Scum Also Rises.
Now I must say this is probably one of my favorite records. I'm almost sure I like this band more than No For An Answer and all Dan's other bands. It's a youth crew style record, but the riffs are so well put together with structure and melody it feels like this band is in the direction of a post hardcore sound, similar to what Better Than A Thousand does. This record is so powerful it just makes you wish you were seeing them and had the opportunity to leap off the stage. This record is still available on Revelation Records so I'm not going to upload it (unless you can contact me some other way, then maybe I can arrange something) but don't sleep on this band (though they've been asleep for a while since they are no longer a band). Some of my personal favorite songs on this record is Virus, Throwing Stones, and the self-titled Knee Deep In Guilt. Most of the songs on this record is powerful in the sense that the vocals and the melody are in perfect sync, complimenting each other and giving off a certain feeling or mood. Maybe I just feel this way because I've always been able to detect certain moods of bands and songs. In any case, definitely check this band out.
