Old
Gray is a nifty emo band from New Hampshire. They have a horribly sad
and tortured sound that makes me feel like, maybe emo music doesn't
have to suck! In fact the unique and twisted sound of Old Gray is
really inspiring and impressive. The guitar work uses a lot of really
depressing sounding progressions that draw you further into this
groups tortured abyss. He makes you depressed but somehow shows you
the possible beauty in life. The bass playing is fairly solid and on
the more acoustic parts there are some really good bass melodies
going on. The drumming is often very heavy and really put some much
needed energy in the songs. The fills are very tasty though and a lot
of the rolls are truly interesting. Finally the vocals are an
interesting mix of tortured screams and tranquil cleans. They provide
an excellent contrast and really show the full majest of this band. The lyrics are also very interesting and show some really cool concepts.Their sound is completely their own and they simply shine. These guys
are awesome and have proved to me that emo music CAN be cool. So
check out Old Gray! You won't regret it.
