Premonition - EP Review

Type – EP Review
Title – Beneath The Wreckage
Artist – Premonition


Premonition are a fantastic up and coming band within Glasgow’s metal scene. The band have been working hard recently and this EP shows only a small slice of what they have to offer.

Premonition do not waste time in making an impression with both songs on the EP making a huge impact from the get go. Loud, fast and designed to instigate bar brawls, it’s a monster of an EP. Neither song is bad on this EP. ‘Beneath The Wreckage’ is comfortable in is own skin full of heavy guitar riffs. Unlike so many before them, Premonition just might be able to break out and be more than just another local band.

We really enjoyed this EP and we want to know your thoughts on it, leave us a comment below telling us what you thought.

Sleeping with Sirens 'Feel' - Album Review

Sleeping With Sirens
'Feel' Album Review

After constantly listening to 'Feel' for the past two days, I felt that it was time to write a review.

Sleeping with Sirens are one of those bands that kids will never lose faith in, every piece of music they've released to date has had a deeper meaning behind it. 

The title track 'Feel' is a little slower compared to the other songs on the album, although that really isn't a bad thing. After seconds of the song begining you hear­ Kellin's destingtive high pitched vocals. Although it's a little different to what we're used to hearing from Sleeping with Sirens, it's a good different, definitely a feel good song.

'Here We Go' is a quick change of pace thanks to drummer Gabe's blistering speed. With 'Free Now' Kellin lets us in on a very personal aspect of his life, his family.  During an interview he said 'It's important that kids understand you can't choose your parents, but you can choose the outcome of your life'. 

With 'Low' being the first single release from the album, there's been bad reviews, there's been good reviews, but even the bad reviews can't say there's not meaning behind the song and that's one of the biggest reasons the band have such a great following that just doesn't seem to stop growing. 

One of my favourite tracks from 'Feel' is 'Congratulations' featuring Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire. The song is has much more of a rock-y feel to it, it's like Sleeping with Sirens have managed to raise the bar again! Kellin and Matty are a fantastic team, their voices work really well together and I don't think this will be the last we see the duo work together on a song.

'Satelites' is another slower paced song. It showcases Kellin's phenomenal vocal ability so well. The track talks about change, a subject that many of us can relate to. Quinn sings 'It's time we finally look at what we've done, and wake up'. It reminds me of the bands 'If you were a movie, this would be your soundtrack' release, if it was acoustic of course.

This album is definitely another great release from Sleeping with Sirens. You can tell these guys definitely put a great deal of effort into making this album what it is and the fans are going crazy for it. I can't wait to see the band perform it live! At first I thought it'd be difficult for the band to top their previous releases but I can now say they've done it, another fantastic album.
