Review: Sleeping With Sirens - The Strays (Single)
“The Strays” is the newest song from rock five-piece Sleeping With Sirens. Set to be featured on the band’s forthcoming album Madness, the track continues the direction heard on previously released “Kick Me” and “Go Go Go”.
“The Strays” begins with light acoustic guitar and a soft melody, later transforming into solid alternative rock, with the addition of drums bringing about an overall cohesiveness. Far from the sound featured on “If You Can’t Hang” and “If I’m James Dean, You’re Audrey Hepburn”, the track can, at times, be compared to the acoustic “Don’t You Ever Forget About Me” and Feel’s “Satellites”.
Mayday Parade drummer Jake Bundrick has announced the band have finished writing their 5th album and will be hitting the studio in two weeks. You can view a tweet from him below.
Review: Of Mice & Men - Restoring Force: Full Circle
Of Mice & Men are back with Restoring Force: Full Circle, the re-release of their successful 2014 album. Seeing the addition of four new tracks, Full Circle brings back listener favourites while offering a taste of what’s to come from the Of Mice & Men camp.
Restoring Force: Full Circle is a record that’s received varied opinions from fans. Showcasing hard-rock mixed with instances of hard-hitting post-hardcore - the sound Of Mice & Men had hoped to move in - most approve of the band’s new direction. However, there are some left feel betrayed, commenting on how they miss the band’s “old” sound. Taking a different stance than fans, critics are praising the five-piece on the record and are naming it a must-have for music fans everywhere.
Ice Nine Kills have announced they’ll be heading out on tour this May with Get Scared, Upon This Dawning, Chasing Safety and Brightwell. Dates and ticket details are yet to be announced.
