Pistol Day Parade-Burn

 

Pistol Day Parade have something to say, and if you give them the chance, you will experience the rock!  This band's incredible release, "Burn", showcases straight rock and some elements of grunge, if I say so myself.  My favorite track, is "Where I Lay".  The intro to this song sets it up to be a wonderful rocker, and that is what it indeed is!  They have more than just "Where I Lay" though.  The amped "Rockstar's Girlfriend", which clocks in as most of their tracks do, at about three and a half minutes, is another solid effort.  Of course, you then have to crank up another strong song in "Not Today".  Hailing from Detroit, this band is unique in the fact that they have a shot at a diverse fan base, and they prove to just that.  I know I typically review releases with a high rating, but to understand why, it's because I normally am presented with numerous albums to do, and if I at least "like" what I hear, then chances are that it will pan out.  Trust me, this release, "Burn" by Pistol Day Parade, will surely not disappoint the "more than" majority of you rockers out there!

Gift Giver-Daddy Issues

                      Talk about a hard-hitting, in your face band.  Gift Giver are quite the force, I must say.  If you have yet to even hear of them, first note that this release, their first, is an EP, and contains six tracks.  Next, note that it's very explicit, and worth every single dollar you spend, whether on digital outlets, or on their facebook/storenvy fronts.  It bought it both ways, still awaiting the physical copy, which was just placed today.  My favorite track, is the album title track, "Daddy Issues".  The lyrical content is very vulgar, but bad ass, mosh pit attitude-worthy, no doubt.  If you are into the screamers, the Hatebreed, Beartooth, The Word Alive-type of music, this band is certainly down your alley.  The lyrics "....just kill yourself, why don't you just kill yourself.  Just kill yourself, why don't you kill yourself?  Just fucking kill yourself......I didn't need you anyway, all I wanted was an apology."-WOW.  That is pretty much brutal, and the track is just around three minutes long, but worth every second.  Each track has it's own sense of brutality, with lines such as "....I fucking hope your world falls apart everytime you hear my name..." on the track, "2 Face"; or the laced up lineage power of "Lowlife" with  "....it's just not the fucking same, you're just nothing to me.  Those days are just dead and gone and I'm leaving.".  Other tracks pound the pavement as well, such as "Scumbag", "Body Snatcher", and the second best track in my opinion, "Chatterbox".  Overall, especially for the money, this Michigan-based band, is worth it.  I'm a fan now, and will be for a long time to come, there's no doubt.  Pick up a few tracks digitally to give 'em a try, or buy the entire EP today, trust me, you will not be let down, or I'll pay the difference!  Peace.
