X-i na rokah, Chain of Strength majice, X Swatch ure, odrezane vojaške hlače, old school Vansi, itd. itd. Naj dvigne roko tisti, ki ne ve za kakšne vrste bend gre! Ja...old school hardcore. Itak! Kaj drugega naj človek pričakuje od benda, ki vloži na prednjo stran ovitka z X-om označeno roko? Fumbles in Life prihajajo iz Italije in sploh ne delajo slabe muske... hitrost je taprava, rifi so dovolj zanimivi in vokalist se dere kot oni iz ameriških bendov. Ja, fantje vsekakor črpajo navdih od ameriških hardcore bendov ala In My Eyes, Floorpunch in podobnih in prav zato tukaj ne boste našli nič, kar niste že prej slišali...no, vsaj tisti, ki ste se kdaj poglobili v old school hardcore. Ampak, važno je, da so fantje kljub zlizanosti rifov dobri in poslušlivi! V besedilih sem pričakoval sporčila, ki sem jih že moljonkrat dal skozi a sem kmalu spoznal, da ima bend tudi nekaj svojega za povedat ter obenem začutil nekakšno izžarevanje iskrenosti. To mi je vseč! Po pravici povedano sem že precej sit ameriškega old schoola, ampak kot sem že prej povedal Fumbles in Life niso slabi, le svojo glasbo bi lahko malce dlje razvili.

English Version:
X marked hands, Chain of Strength t-shitrs, X Swatch watches, cut off army pants, old school Vans shoes, etc., etc. Is there anyone who still don't know what is this all about? Well, it's a fucking old schoool hardcore. What else can you expect from a band that has an X marked hand on the front cover? Fumbles in Life is a young band from Italy and musically they're not bad...there's a good tempo speed, riffing is interesting enough and the vocalist is shouting like those in american hc bands. Yep, this guys are definitely influenced by american old school hc bands like In My Eyes, Floorpunch and alike and that's why you won't find here anything new...well, at least those of you who spent some time doscovering old school hc world. Well, the most inportant thing is that in spite of their shabby riffing and all they can still do it good and listenable. I expected the lyrics to be about the same things I've read about a million times before but quickly find out they share also ideas of their own and at the same time sense some kind of sincere radiation. I like that! To tell you the truth I started to get really sick of american old school hc but like I said before Fumbles in Life are not that bad, they just should develope their music a bit further.
