NEAR MISS (Texas, USA) – The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies (sealed LP copy) (2020) People Of Punk Rock Records (re-issue) on Blue/White Swirl vinyl - limited to 211 copies.
"The Gentle Art Of Making Enemies" is a high-octane blast of Melodic Hardcore and Skate Punk from the Austin, Texas-based band NEAR MISS. Originally released in 2005, it stands as a definitive example of the mid-2000s "aggressive-meets-catchy" sound.
If you imagine the technical speed of A Wilhelm Scream mixed with the vocal urgency of The Movielife, you’re in the right ballpark. It’s an album that balances frantic energy with polished, anthemic choruses.
Featuring ex-BigWig members Jeremy and Max. Solid blend of Melodic Hardcore and Skate Punk anthems. 
Highly recommend for fans of: Belvedere, Propagandhi, early GOB & Good Riddance.  --  People of Punk Rock Records – POPR 719V
