Not By Choice

2000 EP This self-titled EP is comprised of 6 songs, one of which is a hidden track. It's a quick fix of in your face punk rock, that leaves you wanting more. Although the musical content varies from energetic and fast paced to slightly more mellow, it aims to please. The only drawback would be the instrumental song. I for one need lyrics, but for those of you who enjoy instrumental songs, I'm almost positive that you will enjoy this one! So overall, go out and buy this short but sweet cd (if there are any left) or download some mp3's from www.mp3.com/notbychoice and ENJOY IT! Reviewed by Shane Macaulay

2001 EP Another short but sweet release from the guys of Not By Choice. In this 4 song EP, the band have given a full 110% for their most recent release. The song list on the CD is: Standing Alone, This is the End, Maybe One Day, and Now That You Are Leaving. Every one of these songs are jam packed with emotionally charged lyrics over the sounds of melodic guitars, and a slower drum beat. Many bands take a while to reach such a level of sophistication in their music, NBC has done so in the time it takes to record a mere two albums. These guys have been a success from the start. With a few more releases, these guys will rule the pop punk world Reviewed by Shane Macaulay
