Yet again I am going to be looking at a Metalcore/Hardcore band similar to Rise To Remain which I talked about in my last post - Here is my research and my own opinion!
A spot of background research...
While She Sleeps is a 5-man Metalcore band from Sheffield in the south of the UK that have been playing since around 2006. They are very popular for their live performances - flailing and jumping around, all that good stuff.
Members include:
- Lawrence Taylor (Vocals)
- Sean Long (Guitar)
- Aaron Mckenzie (Bass)
- Adam Savage (Drums)
- Mat Welsh (Vocals/Guitar)
They have supported names such as Enter Shikari and Bury Tomorrow and they have done a great job and it paid off as they now regularly tour around major cities in the UK and Europe.
The North Stands For Nothing - Debut 2010
Well, after all that hard work the guys released their debut album 'The North Stands For Nothing' in mid-2010 with the label Small Town in the UK.
What do I think?
I grabbed myself a copy of TNSFN, and at first glance I was disappointed to only see 8 tracks lasting just under half an hour, but that was just me being pre-judgemental as always.
I went straight through the album - one song after another, and I loved it. Each track is very melodic and there is a great balance between these melodies and the input of hard drum crashes, juicy bass lines and fantastic riffs, not forgetting Taylor's screaming of course.
In a way, I find the melodic nature of these guys and Rise To Remain quite similar, which is awesome.
New Album Alert! Later This Year!
Yes, WSS is indeed releasing another bag of epic craziness, and most likely a tour to go with that - however they have released very little info on this, which is damn frustrating to say the least. I will update you all if I hear anything however!
Links!
Here is my pick off the album, I definitely recommend it:
