"Why do we try so hard?" This line rings really true and sad on this 4 song 7". Colossus of Roads, in my opinion, was one of the best bands playing modern screamo/skram in the states and seemed to be largely ignored. It's really too bad, because Colossus takes elements of Kidcrash's mathy rocking emo and mixes it with Capsules intensity and heaviness...and then proceeds to blow every band out of the water with their sound. Every song on this 7" is amazing and can stand on it's own, but together this is one intense 10 minute listen. Not sure if they are still active, and details on this release are sketchy at best. Bummer. This band should have been huge.Thanks so much to Chris for finding this for me. I don't know why I was having such a hard time finding a rip of it. Unfortunately the rip isn't the greatest, and the level drops a few times throughout. Still an amazing album worth downloading. Also...it should be noted that this band is in no way related to the terrible Montreal band, Colossus of Rhodes. Don't bother with that band.
