Straight-ahead, pissed punk. They remind me a lot of the FREEZE, and other such energetic, socially aware bands. The lack of MTV production values is also refreshing. Angry and rocking, with plenty of tunes too. (RK)

I actually had just heard about this band after reviewing Mixo De Punko! Vol. 2. The songs on This Time It’s for Money are fast and aggressive. One of my favorite things about California Redemption is that they are not afraid to address any issue. From the government and religion to youth culture, each song has a strong message and opinionated view. From all I have heard about this band, performance wise, I would love to see them live. (KB)

Political punk with the usual lyrics, but the punk rock is straight up and upbeat. These whippersnappers play with a lot of ginger and snap.

I’m not faulting their sincerity, but the end result of said sincerity sounds like some pretty ham-handed and stiff hardcore-meets-Epitaph stuff with not a whole lot of variances between the songs. Yeah, they’re positive, sure, they’re not dumb, and I believe that they believe what they’re singing about, but that in itself isn’t gonna carry you the whole way to the car, guys. Way I figure it, these kids are probably pretty hot shit in their respective scene and manage to pack local shows, but for me the music rings as fairly generic and rehashed, and the vocals are way too clear and, well, unworried to be put that high in the mix. It’s decent, thoughtful stuff, but it’s also really lacking that extra push that’s gonna ensure it burns itself into most people’s synapses. -Keith Rosson (L.T.E. Records)
