With a couple hits and misses, the Acoustic EP effectively reveals another dimension in City Lights’ sound.
With a traditionally-rooted sound, varied instrumentals, and fired-up vocals amplifying the soul of this much-loved genre, the Dropkick Murphys have a sound all their own. But as inspiring and avant-garde as this variation of simple American punk is, it is safe to say that this band has played all of their cards.
Lost in a never-ending cacophony of American-inspired guitar squeals, hammering drum beats, and amped-up vocals, the third release from the Swedish-based Her Bright Skies is an angsty young adult power piece whose volume is fit for an arena but whose calamitous structure and predictable composition should be left in the garage.
Although their new EP Brand New Life only has three songs, Life After Liftoff have a sound as big as the town they’re from. The four-piece from Dayton, Ohio try to use their cheerful sound to spread a positive message to the adolescents their music is aimed at.
