FLOWERS
TAPED TO PENS / BREAD CLUB / BEDS / SKULL KID split 7" review
That's
right, four bands on one seven inch, featuring one track each per
band. I like pretty much all of the stuff I've heard before by
FLOWERS TAPED TO PENS, who play lo-fi, highly emotional screamo, and
this tune, with screeching vocals over clean, pretty guitars,
features all of the intensity you would expect. It also has some
squealing which is still a real challenge for me to enjoy, but a cool
track none-the-less. BREAD CLUB are a soft, easy going emo band, and
this mid-paced tune rolls along with some lovely chord-work that
marries nicely with the calm yet catchy vocal melodies and emo
lyricism. A nice little tune. BEDS, putting forward possibly my
favourite track of the split, play super catchy, super soft emo, with
fantastic instrumentation, and great, vocally high-pitched verse and
chorus sections that will stick in your head long after listening,
thanks to a clever use of repetition. SKULL KID close the split with
an interesting, unpredictable tune that combines a bit of screaming
with both soft and breathy, and high-pitched singing, in a fuzzy
garage emo sound that's varied in pace and intensity, from smooth
verses, to screamed interludes, and a slower, post-hardcore outro. A
nice little split if you like your new emo and screamo on the soft
side.
