...keep ourselves in the race,” Haviland said. With the performance, Haviland exacted a measure of revenge for his collegiate career’s most painful defeat, a 9-3 drubbing at the hands of the Tigers in Game 1 of the ICS. “They beat me up pretty good last year in the championship game,” Haviland said. “It’s one you circle on your calendar anyway, because it’s been us or them for the Ivy League for the past few years, but there...
...rebels soon turns physical, and Beah’s terse sentences build on one another to recreate the tension of the situation.

Songs such as “Atlantis to Interzone” and “Forgotten Works” feature repetitious, heavily rhythmic sections and infectious dance beats provided by live guitar and drum work, all reminiscent of techno and rave. Yet on songs like “Golden Skans” and “As Above, So Below,” the band follows the tradition of melodic pop with their catchy “oohs?...
