| A blood test that should have brought comfort brings confusion and pain instead.

He wants his biological child back - but he can't stand to think of losing the little girl he knows as his. The obvious solution would be to have all parties under one roof. The arrangement would be strictly for the toddlers, the adults say...or could God have plans to bring love back to the hearts of two very wounded people? |

| The dozen tracks throughout This Is An Outrage range from pure bred alternative pop to assertive modern rock, wrapped around a topical plane that spans the palette of meaningful, whimsical and satirical. The scalding “Kick It Off” is sure to be a fierce concert classic and the aforementioned “Worth As Much As a Counterfeit Dollar” possesses one of the most contagious choruses in recent memory. “Night of Your Life Is When You Die” is an anthem for anyone who embraces the straight-edge scene, suggesting the party hearty mentality isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. The energy escalating “Return” is amongst the disc’s most inspirational, while the historically slanted “Frank Morris” provides a fictional account of the famed Alcatraz prison escape. |
