Review:
Letting out all the feelings, after releasing the prisoner out of the cage...
This Demo is full of emotions and surely comes from the heart.
Up River, an upcoming act in the Melodic Hardcore scene, unleashes so much energy and potential, unbelievable for a Demotape!
Four songs, running about 12 minutes, that are able to carry away and lead into thinking.
Very clear voice, while screaming out everything from the heart, this is how Alex' vocals are sounding like.
Calm passages and fast build ups are keeping the interest in listening through all the songs.
Hardcore and punk in a very melodic way, for fans of bands, such as Defeater, More Than Life or Modern Life Is War, just to name some more known bands.
In my opinion, these songs are addictive and while having the 4 songs on repeat, they are not getting boring after listening a fourth or fifth time to them. Pretty impressing
Another great point to add is, that these guys are lyrically bringing some dramatic, yet up pushing songs!
Music that comes from the heart!
Check them out!
