Listen to Test of Time’s new track, “Threshold”, exclusively via Germany’s Fuze Magazine Blog now. This song appears on the band’s first proper full-length, By Design, which will be available on July 22nd from Bridge Nine Records and is available for pre-order now from B9Store.com.
Test of Time’s members are no strangers to the punk scene, from frontman and scene photographer Todd Pollock to guitarist/vocalist and record label proprietor Charles Chaussinand to bassist and ex-Energy/Daytrader road dog Robert Cheeseman (the band also features Mike Assatly on guitars/vocals and Jeff Novak on drums). After unleashing a prolific amount of material considering their formation two short years ago, including one self-released 10-song demo (2012’s Inclusion), two EPs (2013’s The Price and the more recent A Place Beyond) and several cover singles, the band has crafted a proper full-length debut of speedy, howled youth crew hardcore à la Youth of Today, Bane and In My Eyes. By Design is guided by the careful, detail-oriented approach of architectural planning (as hinted at by its visual motif), and uses that focus to deliver unexpected shifts in tempo dynamic, musically and lyrically sly references to hardcore’s past, and sincere decrees pertaining to vegetarianism, The Straight Edge, perseverance, and one’s own personal growth and change.
Check out Test of Time’s blog and bandcamp page and stay tuned for more shows in North America and abroad to be announced.
