Ride with Cascadent into the sunet.

Last month Cascadent released “Watch the Tail” featuring Michael of Satyr and this month they are keeping that momentum on their own with new single “Sunset in a Sense.” The single itself releases one week from the posting of this review, so if you’re a fan of this band or just guitar driven post-hardcore you will enjoy this one. You can read our review of the previous single and check it out below.

“Sunset in a Sense” is, to me anyway, a better song than its predecessor. The first verse has a certain groove that cannot be denied and it has a solo section that is quite compelling. Aside from that I don’t have too much to say, this isn’t a track that has anything you haven’t heard out of the genre. One thing I will say of Cascadent, however, is that a lot of these bands who are out here off of this genre very much seem to release by the numbers tracks and record but it really feels like in this case they really have a care and passion for what they do.


I wish I had more to say on Cascadent’s latest offering, but this time I think it's better to let the music speak for itself. You can support the band, hear their previous single and pre-save the new one below. And thank you to Cascadent for sending these songs our way a bit early.

Review: analysis/paralysis by Four Year Strong released via Pure Noise

Image
Four Year Strong is a band who has always meant a lot to me growing up in New England. While I Specifically spent my adolescence in RI, Worcester was only a forty-minute ride and most of the shows I attended were out there. I'm less online now, but I have a feeling I know the consensus on this record isn't very hot. Being an over twenty-year-old easycore band in a time where scene bands are nostalgic acts can't be easy. But to be honest I quite enjoyed this one. Analysis paralysis as a record has a lot harder an edge than 2020's Brain Pain . The hardcore elements were never really missing from the Four Year Strong formula, but on this record songs like "aftermath/afterthought" are actual moshable moments, complete with a full breakdown, a lot of intensity and a guitar pedal like a buzzsaw. A part of me wonders if a band like this needs to be put on an indie music blog. I know lately we've shied away from this, but there's talks behind the scenes to ...

REVIEW: UNKILLABLE ANGEL by Ada Rook released independently

Image
The Black Dresses split was and continues to be ugly. I never reviewed Laughingfish, the duo’s final record, mostly because I didn’t feel it was my place. While there were some strong tracks present, I felt the two’s strained relationship came through quite clearly and it wasn’t up to some music blogger to weigh in on it. Now Ada Rook has released Unkillable Angel , her first solo record since the split and she makes it hard to not weigh in on. When I heard about this record, I saw warning to stay away, citing Rook as being aggressive, toxic and confrontational, which if you’re attempting to read the record in bad faith I could definitely see. She also invites you to hate her on the album several times on both the tracks about this situation and the one’s written two years ago. Still, this didn’t scare me away, in fact I think Unkillable Angel gives us a deeper look into the situation than we’re led to believe. Rook's music has always been danceable with a sharp edge with her harsh...

Review: Coup de Grace by SeeYouSpaceCowboy... via Pure Noise

Image
I wasn't sure what to expect of the jazz influence and direction Coup de Grace was going for, but it seems the band went all in here. This is far from SeeYouSpaceCowboy... with some sax interludes, it shoots for both in tandem. The transition to opening track "Allow Us to Set the Scene" hard cuts from one genre to the other seamlessly. There hasnt really been a SeeYouSpaceCowboy... album this varied in general. "Subtle Whispers to Take Your Breath Away" is very reminiscent of where screamo was in the late 2000s, heavy but with a dramatic flair. This lines up with the sass bands Connie [last name] lists as influences on this band's sound and maintains the heart of it while becoming more accessible than past releases. On Connie, she has become an undeniably excellent front woman at this point. The original selling point of her delivery, the sass-inspired spoken word, is still present. Only now she's gotten more varied yet with more of a razor focus. These ...
