Deadlights – Tired Eyes, Restless Mind 2012
Now!
I’m giving this a 4. to me, the only reason I can’t score a 5 for this band’s songs at the moment is that the screamo vocals are not up to the league of the clean. This band will no doubt score some airplay but it’s mainly the clean vocals setting it aside from other bands. This guy’s voice is really strong, and does really interesting harmonies. The music is very good. Great job, don’t take what I said about the screamo too harshly.

Vs. the Sea of Disease is a record that works on multiple levels, though some tend to be better than others. The album is really at its best when Feel Never Real do their best Rev Theory impersonation and infuse their southern tinged rock with some extra balls and gritty heft (“Drunkstar Anthem,” “Less Hopeless”), but still, it’s not too shabby when the band fires off one radio ready tune after another (“Sea of Disease,” “Always Over”). If Vs. the Sea of Disease was more of the former and less the latter, it would be better for it. Though Feel Never Real sound better during those moments they decide to keep the gas pedal pressed firmly to the floor, charging ahead guns ablaze, nothing should be taken away from their tempered moments, moments in which could find the band some airplay sooner than later. One recurring theme of Vs. the Sea of Disease is the talents of singer Tim Jones, a rock frontman whose voice happens to fall somewhere in-between Shinedown’s Brent Smith and Alterbridge’s Myles Kennedy.
Skarlett Riot – VILLAIN EP 2012
Now!Exclusive!
If you have not come across UK rock band Skarlett Riot yet that will soon change with the release of their new EP Villain on March 19th. Bristling with formidable sounds, confrontational attitude, and a bearing of its fangs, the release is mighty; a deeply gratifying feast of heavy and explosive riffs fuelled by instinctive melodies and barely controlled energy.Villain stomps all over the senses and then goes back to give them another kicking after reviving them with its invigorating charm and infectious sounds.
Formed in 2010 Skarlett Riot has already garnered fine praise and acclaim for their live shows and debut EP. Their sharing of stages with the likes of Taking Dawn, Crashdiet, Glamour of the Kill, Black Spiders, Forever Never, Deaf Havana, and Francesqa and recent successful appearance at the Tramlines Festival set them as a band to watch somethingVillain strongly confirms. With a sound that takes the essences of the likes of Paramore and Halestorm and twists them into a stylish rod of melodic prowess to fuse with the bands aggressive and intense rock n roll, the band are about to make a powerful statement with the EP, an affirmation and declaration of intent and power from one of the best emerging UK bands.

Three Minute Madness – Disgraceful 2011
Now..
The first thing you’ll notice about this particular metal band? Their complete and utter retro sound ‘ala Seattle rock at its very peak. Indeed, Three Minute Madness from the northern town of Umeå/Sweden are flirtin’ with grunge rock and groups such as Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, on their rather impressive debut album. Having almost forgotten the uplifting nature of “grunge” and the always gleeful sight of flannel-heads (not quite right, huh?), it was honestly refreshing to witness a band trying to pretend like it’s still 1994 out there.
Fall From Grace – The Romance Years 2012
Fall From Grace have faced their fair share of adversity, but they conquered it by subscribing to the creed that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And “strong” is a good adjective to describe this album’s sound: part modern rock, part power-pop, part punk, and part hair metal, the conglomeration of elements all prettied up with a polished production that is slicker than K-Y Jelly on a stainless steel pole yet never crosses the line into sugarcoated crassness.
Hooks are the heart and soul of this album; The Romance Years has more hooks than a fishing derby. While Fall From Grace have their own identity, their brand of infectious rock bears more than a passing resemblance to acts like Marvelous 3 and 40 Ft. Ringo. The band is very fond of thick backing harmonies; there haven’t been this many gang vocal “Whoas!” on an album since the ‘80s pop-metal peak. Most of the choruses are designed to be anthems, soaring addictively over the top, the kind of songs you can sing along to before your first listen even ends.
