A whole new band. A different sound. A new record. I got a tape of Garrison at the 1999 Warped Tour and all I can remember is how bad I thought they were. All I can remember is a very poppy and generic pop/punk/rock band. When I got their new album to review I sighed in frustration but I was pleasantly surprised.
They have totally changed their sound and have built a new sound filled with grit, dirt, and rock. There is a lot more talent displayed on this album than what I had heard before. It's only 6 songs but "The Silhouette" (revelation) is a pretty good EP. It isn't perfect but it's a HUGE step in the right direction. I hope that they continue to progress and make a full length that will continue in the right direction.
"The Silhouette" might be something you want to check out. At times it's gritty like Small Brown Bike but at other times it's spacey like Appleseed Cast or Starflyer 59. Who knows, you just might like it.
