There really aren't too many misses when looking over the playlist with most artists doing well to steer away from a standard replication of the songs chosen making 'Like A Version' Volume 8 a worthwhile use of the airwaves.

Every now and then the ‘Punk Goes Pop’ series will unveil a gem or two, and that certainly is the case on number five. These tracks make the whole process, which is tired and way past its use-by date, worthwhile in a small way, preventing us from completely writing them off just yet.

Vision of Disorder clearly grew up in a different time to the new generation of hardcore bands. Somehow they've managed to retain their youthful energy, yet their wisdom shines through in this meticulously crafted set of songs. Aggression is achieved not through production tricks or histrionics, but through genuinely powerful performances and lyrical directness.

Drink. Sing. Live. Love. is a more proficient effort from Versus The World. The band seamlessly weaves between post-hardcore and pop punk; each track slotting in perfectly to add to the record’s overall landscape. Versus The World have picked up right where they left off in 2005 to provide a slick collection of transmissibly optimistic tunes.

Veil of Maya are a fitting band on the Sumerian roster. And 'Eclipse' again reinforces the group's standing in this new-wave of metal where bands, influenced strongly by traditional elements are giving their own take on things. 'Eclipse' is an engaging listen. Perhaps, hollow in particular points but as a general statement, studio album number four gets an easy pass mark.
