![]() With Tomorrow Come Today, Boy Sets Fire has definitely taken aim at the mainstream. 'Eviction Article' explodes then, the song's martial rhythms driven forward by Gray's vitriolic lyrics: 'The constitution burns to ash in front of you/The people will know what you're up to/Your sins will come back on you.' 'Dying on Principle' and 'Handful of Redemption' might be the best songs on the album, encapsulating perfectly the band's rage, rhetoric, and conscious movement toward melody. Tomorrow Come Today begins with Gray's bellowed mantra of, 'Protest is patriotism,' a notion echoed in the incendiary political treatise printed on the record's inlay card. So it's a credit to BSF that they didn't let Wind-Up or their producers completely attenuate these elements. ![]() Gray's voice - with its whisper-to-a-scream range - has always conveyed much of the emotion in BSF's progressive, often acerbic hardcore sound.

Josh Latshaw and Chad Istvan's guitars are impenetrable or elegiac, depending on the mood, but the rhythm section of Rob Avery (bass) and Matt Krupanski (drums) gets the short end of the stick. ![]() Produced by ex-Ugly Kid Joe guitarist Dave Fortman (who also manned the boards for the young Wind-Up groups 12 Stones and Evanescence) and mixed by Jay Baumgardner (Godsmack, Orgy), Tomorrow Come Today is a meticulously detailed sound recording. But the album suffers from big-league production homogeny. ![]() As a logical progression, this is understood and accepted. Tomorrow Come Today, their Wind-Up debut, doesn't dilute the band's often caustic political discourse musically, however, the band has fully embraced the melodicism that After the Eulogy hinted at. While an ear for melody had always tempered Boy Sets Fire's post-hardcore tumult, 2000's After the Eulogy moved even more consciously toward hooks with the mid-tempo rock of tracks like 'When Rhetoric Dies.' Since then, the Delaware-based quintet has left Chicago indie Victory for Wind-Up, the New York-based label that made its name with Creed. ![]()
