With 2007's CONVICTON, the Seattle-based goth-punk act Aiden offers up another moody set of songs for the Victory label. This time around, however, the dark-clad band, led by brooding singer Wil Francis, tones down its abrasive side, opting for a more accessible sound that reveals a considerable Cure influence, particularly on the melancholy and melodic "One Love."

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.46) - "There is a meticulous attention to detail here, a very real sense of pushing forward.....This is the record that will propel Aiden to stardom..."
