I have to say when I saw this band
start their video I was certain that this would be the worst band
ever. I was pleased when I discovered that this band actually has a
reasonable post hardcore sound, and does not sound completely
generic. The English vibe manages to make this band a bit more
interesting than the average A Day to Remember wuss-fest. The guitar
work is reasonably brutal, however I'd recommend this group to keep
away from boring chuggy bits, they get a bit to clsoe to the line at
times. The bass work on this record is pretty good, but also rather
chuggy, while it adds to the brutality it also makes the band a bit
generic... so watch out for that guys! The drumming here is stellar
with a lot of cool licks that really help to make everything flow
nicely. Finally we have the vocals, which are rather well done, and
feature decent growls and excellent cleans. Overall, ASW is a pretty
cool post hard core band for you to check out!
I'm sorry but anyone who has ever heard any sort of music at all can tell the vocals are consistently off-key. The guitar riffs are also all random assemblies of notes with absolutely no musical connection and the whole band have this cocky self satisfied attitude which I wouldn't mind if they weren't so shit. Terrible review, terrible band.
ReplyDeletehey man you jsut can't take ASW because their too HARDCORE, the gitar liks dont NEED musical connention becos they arent BOUND BY THOSE RULES fucka
DeleteThere's a big difference between musical dissonance and just sounding like arse.
DeleteYO, i think allshewrote are down right whack, you can tell they are trying super hard to sound like skrillex and sometimes slipknot, its just copying, get some originality guys!
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of band has a fat chick for a drummer ?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about your skrillex claim.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what makes you say that, I'm detecting much more of a neo-classical influence, specifically hindemith and profikiev
each to their own I suppose.
Nice review. Parts of vocals are off key, but the singing ain't bad, it works with that kinda music. I downloaded their ep nd some songs r real nice, defo can't hear any shrillex on the album though lool
