The Dark Retreat — The Devil In Me (Butterfly Kiss)
About four years ago, we ran a piece on a five-piece called Bi-Polar Baby. The band have since broken up, which was a shame, because they showed an awful lot of potential, and we were very much looking forward to seeing how their next effort would be an improvement on the last.

Late Night Fiction’s press release describe them as a “melodic post-hardcore quartet” — and it’s surprisingly accurate.

A little over a year ago, we covered This Addiction. The record marked a bit of a return to Alkaline Trio’s punk roots. It’s interesting then, that the follow-up should be such a risky move.
