Seven long years later, and H2O return with their fifth album. Now returning to an independent label (good to see), Bridge Nine Records, as opposed to MCA, on which their 2001 released Go was released on.
Nothing to Prove starts out with the track "1995", which feels more like it came from said year, as opposed to their catchy, but still good, major label effort Go.
"Still Here", one that definitely has the spirit of the mid nineties, features CIV (Anthony Civarelli), formerly of Gorilla Biscuits and CIV (good to hear from him again!), and proclaims that they are stil here after all these years. This track is a must.
Other guests on the album include NYHC staples Roger Miret, Freddy Cricien, and Lou Koller. The other guests are Kevin Seconds and Matt Skiba.
I really had not realised H20 had not released an album in such a while as I am not a huge fan, but definitely enjoy listening to their music. H20 are definitely back, if they were gone. Nothing to Prove, regardless of how the album title is viewed, is them at their best, not having to prove anything to anyone. H2O, as the intro track suggest, year wise, are back to their early form.
(This blog is "still here" despite the slow posts!)
