Gwen Stacy show a promising debut with "The Life I Know". Their mix of Hardcore with slight metal influences can entertain, though it has flaws as well. The breakdownish riffs sound very alike on almost every track, and seem repetitive. The band shows potential in the melodic moments, like on "If We Live Right, We Can't Die Wrong"
Up to now, it's quite generic. Future albums will show what the band will do with the potential they have

These guys deliver a solid debut album.
The instrumental/screaming is intense and the clean vocals makes a splendid contrast. Should not be missed by metalcore fans.

i'm sorry, but they didn't live up to my expectations. their breakdowns were too simplistic, and they are definitely not "the devil wears prada dialed up to 11" like they were advertised.

It's ok -a little too typical hardcore and predicable for me. It's a Solid debut let's see what they do next - that will make or break them.

i don't know what it is about this band but i love this album, the best song in my opinion is "the fear in your eyes"

Average yes. Potential yes. Whether or not they strive for that with their next release, well I guess we will all just have to wait, unfortunately. They're from my home state, so a little credit is due to them but not much since I expected more...Bass player's voice is pretty good. Maybe they should use him even more than they do? The screamer should also change his tone once and a while...makes for a more eventful vocal delivery. The Life I Know will satisfy those looking for generic metal/hardcore...as the plethora of bands spit out by labels usually do.
