They just let loose with everything, and fuse many areas of music such as hardcore with pop-punk and rock and roll. Songs like "She Sings In The Morning" and "Drella" are where they are at their strongest. This band, musically is quite good, they make interesting music to listen to. Though I do like the way many of the lyrics are written, especially in ironically titled "I'd Rather Die Than Be Famous", with quite a lot of dialogue. I wasnt amazingly pleased with the lyricism in 'Yeah Boy and Doll Face", to rhyme "said" with "bed" isnt a great achievement. Drummer Mike Fueutes does a lot of the work in keeping most of the songs together, and the switch from vocals to screams fits in perfectly throughout the whole record.
It, for me, sold the whole album and it is perfectly arranged, with great 'dancey' bits. The second track "Currents Convulsive" gets the party started for me, it shows that this album clearly fuelled by rock and roll and tinged with pop-punk elements. Although after a while the melody can get slightly nasal, I can forgive him, because there is plenty of talent here. Sometimes predictable screaming can be a bit of a chore, but on this album it's exciting. This is an extremely good album, and the first thing I noticed were the amazingly high-pitched vocals and calculated screams of Vic Fuentes. The fact they were from Equalvision did encourage me to buy it and thankfully, i decided to give it a listen. I felt almost foolish as I ripped off the shiny plastic, stopping me from ever getting a refund. I bought this album purely in the spur of the moment, only hearing about one of their songs beforehand. These bands went above and beyond when it came to enlisting the help of artists, or creating art themselves, and coming up with the perfect cover art.įavorites: Check out Beth Cavener, who sculpted the fox pictured on Emarosa’s 131 album cover.Review Summary: Pierce the veil should be proud of this baby, as a first release, they have put a great record out. It’s one thing to have good music, but quite another to have a good album cover. Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge – My Chemical Romance Similar to: Hands Like Houses, Pierce The Veil, Emarosa Author theoffbeatmusicblog Posted on AugCategories Discover Tags crooked smile, emarosa, hands like houses, hell to pay, keaton pierce, pierce the veil, sympathy, too close to touch 2 Comments on Discover: Too Close To Touch 10 Songs For Your Extreme Workout Playlist The band have already released two albums, both similar in sound, but there is a marked shift towards stark, Pvris-esque alt-rock on their newest release “Haven’t Been Myself.” Atmospheric, eerie verses contrast with the kind of scream-your-heart-out choruses characteristic of Pierce The Veil, and an increase in production serves to complement lead singer Keaton Pierce’s intense, trembling vocals and bring the ominous instrumentals to greater heights.įavorites: “Sympathy,” “Crooked Smile,” “Hell To Pay” Though the band only formed in 2012, this blend has already earned them the Best Underground Award at the 2016 APMAs, and a spot as co-headliners on a US tour.
Too Close To Touch combine raw, heartfelt emotion with dark, melodic post-hardcore to great effect.
