catchy single. This band had been all over the place since I originally followed them. Saw them play some generic screamo crap at a show in Vermont when Trevor was 12. Then at one point I thought they were going to become the next Underoath with their sound and then this sounds like a poppy tune with some bring me the horizon influence. I will admit its incredibly catchy. They have been stayed towards the bottom on a lot of package tours in the US over the years i'm hoping they get success with this release.
To me, their creative peak was "We Will All Evolve".. I respect the decision to focus on cleans, they have great voices.. but they lost their unique vocal patterns when they made the transition. The melodies seem safe and careful.. I wish they weren't afraid to take more risks.. they usually do towards the end of a track.
It's a good song but like @Iamhollywood315 said before, they're all over the place with their sound. It's pretty sad when their covers have more screaming than the originals.
I think they have gained some steam again but for a number of years i was always seeing their name at the bottom of them flyer on package tours and saw bands rise up above them.
