These guys have been around since 1991, and that hasn\u2019t stopped them from learning how to crank out generic punk influenced schlock that the industry is now calling post-hardcore. Even the artwork is beyond bland, straight from the inoffensive grunge-lite school of design. Straight from the promo material: <em>&#8220;Gameface\u2019s music combines the best elements of punk (where? -ed.) , hardcore (???) , emo, and pop. They have a desire to to make music simpler; something more sincere behind a defined scene.&#8221;<\/em>  Translation: Gameface makes music that is perfect for a 20 second fade in during a crane shot of a convertible driving on a highway in the latest semi-serious teen coming of age flick, or perhaps even the same scene in a more mature flick aimed at appealing to younger audiences.  Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.  Post-emo is slickly produced personal-themed generic cud to be chewed up by today\u2019s teenage cows.  Put on your latex gloves and retrieve a stool sample.  &#8220;Give Me Something Real?&#8221; Indeed, my good Sir! The press makes a big deal about these guys being able to &#8220;bring the rock&#8221; to their live show. There\u2019s even a mention of &#8220;good old fist pumping arena rock!&#8221;  Yeah, right. That band already exists, and it\u2019s called the Supersuckers. At this point Gameface isn\u2019t worthy to scrape the shit off their boots.<\/p>\n<p>Online Action: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.doghouserecords.net\">doghouserecords.net<\/a><br \/>\nOnline Action: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gameface.net\">gameface.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gameface: Four to Go Label: Doghouse Records Release Date: 2003 Review Date: 2003 New label for this bands&#8217; 6th release (that\u2019s 4 if you are counting.)
