The Business End – Die Alone

• 28th Jan 2008

After thirty seconds of noise and waiting for the song to start, it’d be easy to mistake Die Alone as being an early Green Day song. Although this is not necessarily a bad thing, it leaves no room for the band to create an identity of their own.

The comparisons do not just stop with Bret and Mike’s vocals, the song itself could have been taken from Dookie. Compared to the polished sound of Green Day’s anti-war anthems of the last few year, this song still has a raw, unfinished quality to it that is hard to find these days.

Die Alone will definately not disappoint people who wish the mid-nineties had never ended and that Green Day hadn’t gone down the eyeliner and emo-jeans route.
