Das Kapital
Died True
Johann’s Face Records

Someone somewhere drew a comparison betwixt Chicago’s Das Kapital and Hüsker Dü. I must admit that my appraisal of this album isn’t quite as charitable. Hüsker Dü not only left some large shoes to fill, but they also placed a jagged bloody rock in those shoes. However, this review isn’t about them… it’s about this Died True record! If I were a genius, which I is, I’d suppose you would like this album if you like traditional melody rock that manages to stay below the radar. I use the word traditional not in a critical way, but merely because these guys haven’t applied a new formula; just predictable/poppy lyrics accompanied by big drums and well-produced guitar. What about the good songs? “Lions in Winter” is a noteworthy track. – Kelly D. Williams, Mannerist Zine
