This Combination Of Traditional Music And Punk Rock Of The Subtlety Of The Former With The Power Of The Latter Defines And Reconciles The Diverse Group Of Songs That Make Up Jagged Thoughts American Steel's Latest LP. Having Fully Absorbed Their Punk Influences To Make Rogue's March A New Definitive East Bay Punk Album American Steel Set Forth To Start Creating An Entirely New Genre Of Music. An Exciting Take On Rock And Roll Equally Tempered By Punk's Hardness Swagger And Jangle And Melodic Pop's Irresistible Essence Jagged Thoughts Was A Masterwork By A Band Of Incredible Promise.
