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.

A Rocket To The Moon - 'Wild & Free' Album Review

Type – Album Review
Artist – A Rocket To The Moon
Title – Wild & Free

A Rocket To The Moon recently released their follow up album ‘Wild & Free’ to their 2009 release ‘On Your Side’. The band teamed up with producer Mark Bright on their new album and they channelled their classic rock and country influences, from Jonny Cash and The Eagles to Tom Perry and The Heartbreakers to Brad Paisley. With the band saying “We wanted that good ol’ rock n roll fell, almost that southern rock vibe to this album,” and from what I heard the guys have definitely accomplished their goal

‘Wild & Free’ is somewhat of a departure from ‘On Your Side’ but hopefully fans of the band will notice and appreciate the seemingly natural and genuine progression of their sound and the maturity in their song writing. Plus, vocally, Santino knocks it way out of the park on this record. Their anthemic title track and fun loving sing-a-longs, “Going Out” and “Whole Lotta You,” A Rocket To The Moon pulls from their various influences for some solid country/folk/pop-rock fun. On their swoon-worthy, nostalgic and beautiful love song, “First Kiss,” the band incorporated more country flavour.

Lyrically, the band’s latest single, “Ever Enough,” a heart-wrenching ballad about devotion, and the closing track, the piano driven “Lost and Found,” are easily the two most emotionally gripping songs on the album. The honesty and vulnerability in the lyrics hit you in such a way that you can’t help but hang on to every word.

‘Wild & Free’ definitely has a large variety of songs. It jumps around from slow country-like ballads with rather deep lyrics to upbeat quirky summer loving songs. A Rocket to the Moon were known for that more pop-rock edge to their music. But this album doesn't fall into that same category. ’Wild & Free’ has something for everyone. It has smooth transitions and may be the new beginning of A Rocket to the Moon. The band tried something new and it’s definitely worked.

Make sure you head over to iTunes to get your copy of ‘Wild & Free’ and if you haven’t already go check out A Rocket To The Moon on their social media sites. Much love.
