Stairwell
Untitled release
Reviewed by Brian Vincent McGovern
Whoa! The "ba-bada-pa!" reminded me a little of Up With People, which was a surprise, but then I heard some quicker, up-tempo post-hardcore pop-rock, with gritty vocals not unlike those in the late great Quayle. The musical difference between this band and the singer's old band (Bloodshed) are comparable to the difference between Six Feet Deep and Brandston. This kinda tracks along with the whole "post-hardcore" thing. Lyrics are quite deep and thoughtful, as is usually the case with this style. For info about this 7-inch, write: 6432 Hughes Dr, Huntington Beach CA 92647
