The Thirsty Monkey in Mcallen hosted a mixed genre show by Valley Texas Hardcore, The opening band Archangel took me by surprise because they did not have your usual opening lunchbox amplifiers they rolled in with Marshall half stacks. I heard them talk among each other and it reminded me a lot of when I was there age, tons of teasing and making fun of each others iPod playlists. They have a strong 80 thrash metal sound, rooted towards Death, (old Metallica), Megadeth and Anthrax. Archangel seems to have all the tools to create some amazing songs, just what they are willing to do, or will do with it remains the question. They do have a cheesy cliche look, but I do see themselves outgrowing it and participating in a heavier role in our local music community.
