Hostage Life have released their debut album titled "Sing For The Enemy." This album is one that really shows off the band and their very punk style. This is a band that is pretty similar to an Anti-Flag or a Against Me!, so if you like those bands, you could like Hostage Life. They have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded alright. The bands instrumentation here is also decent, but nothing that will really blow you away. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are alright. They are in a pretty  punk style and they get the desired feel from them. With the lyrics, they are quite political in nature and really attack everything that the establishment stands for, while being just what real punk kids want to hear in their content. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Hostage Life have made an album that really speaks out in the punk way, which is something not a lot of bands are doing. They have a decent style and they know how to play. We can not wait to see what this band comes up with next, and we hope they delve into some more bigger political topics. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
