Bruises was produced and mixed by Matt Allison (Alkaline Trio, Less Than Jake, The Menzingers) at Atlas Studiosin Chicago. The 11-track album masterfully blends the sound of ’90s melodic skate punk with modern Rise Against-style angst and showcases the band’s penchant for three-part harmonies and anthemic choruses. From the No Use For A Name-inspired “Blueprint” to the metallic, riff-laden “Guardrails,” to the anthemic “Destroyed By Lions,”Counterpunch has crafted an album for both the new school and old school punk fan. In the meantime, fans can get a taste of their new album by downloading their single “Destroyed By Lions” for FREE here: https://soundcloud.com/counterpunchrock/destroyed-by-lions.
