DeBaser's review celebrates Life Long Tragedy's 2004 debut Destined for Anything for its spontaneous, melodic hardcore energy. The band formed in San Francisco in 2001 when members were teenagers and featured singer Scott Phillips. The review highlights lyrical naivety paired with mature urgency and cites influence from bands like Have Heart and Bane. The reviewer awards the album five stars and notes the band's 2008 breakup following the release Runaways.
