Vacant Stare - Vindication (CD 2002)

vacant stare tore up the uk rock toilet scene at the tail end of the century with the likes of breed77, miocene, earthtone9, sikth, charger, latch, hybrid uk, kill2this and other uk acts who shone real bright for sadly only a short space of time.

their demo back in something like 1999 was rough but showed real promise, their live shows got better and better and in 2001 they were sonically going places and became more interesting to watch and listen.

they disappeared to record this below average album, rehashing old songs from the demo into characterless pieces of "nu-metal", the album is a total and utter disappointment and one can only feel that label pressures led them down the path they took, how else can one explain such an absymal representation of oneself.
