This will be the first post in my “undoubtedly to become infamous” music review post series (you will have to get used to the sarcasm, it’s not going away)……
First up, a not necessarily new band from the shores of Long Island, New York, Envy on the Coast.
They bear a review for many reasons. Despite their lyrical material being somewhat similar to the latest wave of emo inflected bands who wear their pants so tight it can’t possibly be healthy, their musical arrangements are heights above the typical angular sounds coming form the stereo speakers these days. In fact, they are part of the reason that the use of a piano is now becoming “cool” again. This band is far above just power chords, ladies and gentleman. And their frontman can *gasp* actually sing!!!
Their live show is legendary with all band members playing most of the time in bare feet and performing flips off the wall of amps behind them.
And although their song material can border on being slightly overdramatic once in a while, it undoubtedly contains much more substance than Fall Out Boy and their string of impostors.
Not to mention the frontman has dreadlocks…….Need I say more??
