Chicago skate punks, Counterpunch.

What others have said about Counterpunch's "Dying To Exonerate The World":
"One lone guitar chord. Resonating for about 3 seconds. That's all the time you'll have to take a deep breath before the plunge into this spectacular roller coaster constructed by Chicago, Illinois' punk rock group Counterpunch"- Dying Scene
"These 13 songs embody all that is good in the skatepunk/melodic hardcore/pop punk/whatever genre: stunning vocal interplay delivering the powerful lyrics; intricate guitar work backed up by a talented rhythm section, and hey, the cover art's pretty nice too."- Absolutepunk
