Sometimes, in punk rock, a single band will do something completely different from the norm. Even In Blackouts is one of them. What is different about them is that the songs are done almost completely acoustic, and wind up being extremely well-done in the process. It is not that this hasn't been done before in small doses by other bands (get Green Day out of your head). It just hasn't been done this well.

Zeitgeist's Echo has all the speed and energy of any punk rock band, but with the folkiness and pretty melodies common in acoustic arrangements. The quintet's lead female vocals are sweetly well-done, and compliment the thrashing but rhythmic acoustics perfectly. Even In Blackouts can be enjoyed by almost anyone, no matter what brand of music is preferred.
