AVENOIR – THE LEVIATHAN – REVIEW

coverlev.png

Describing themselves as ‘too loud for your parents, too distorted for indie kids, just right for you’, come new Leeds based grunge band Avenoir with their new single ‘The Leviathan’.

The track starts off very low and quiet, bringing a clear grunge influence style from the very start of the track. Throughout ‘Leviathan’, Avenoir cleverly build up the track from a quieter foundation into a much more developed track with heavier drumming and differentiating guitar riffs, while still capturing a simplistic style that Avenoir are trying to achieve.As for visuals for the video, the simplistic location and setting fits perfectly with the style as well as well throughout out lighting changes to accentuate various changes within the track.

Being their debut single, Avenoir have already set the bar high for further releases, bringing out a strong track that falls well into their style and what they want to achieve. Avenoir are a band that are ready to rise and aren’t afraid to make the music to do it.

Rating: 9/10

Medicine Single Artwork 9.jpg

Novatines are the newest alternative rock band on the scene with the release of their highly anticipated debut single ‘Medicine’.

The track follows their mixed style of rock & roll alongside elements of alternative rock as well. The track brings a along a classic familiarity of the rock & roll genre offered throughout. The high energy of the track alongside the raw vocals bring a good track that never loses its energy.

After four years, the band are starting once again with the right strength and passion they need to make it. This track is only the beginning for Novatines, and certainly worth a listen.

Manmade Horizons.jpg

Broadsea are an alternative post-rock band from Aberdeen in Scotland. With the release of their debut EP ‘Manmade Horizons’ also comes their new single and video for ‘Wynd’, make sure to check it out below.

‘Wynd’ is a good, well polished song with good clear influences from bands such as Biffy Clyro and Reuben. The track transitions from loud and heavy riffs down to a calmer, more atmospherical verse style. Both the vocals and lyrics fit well with this track and once again enhance the smoothness of the different style transitions. ‘Wynd’ is certainly a high quality track which emphasises itself throughout.
