So
there exists some band out there that I thought was The Caution Children but is
in fact a different band with a different name entirely. I wrote a review once for a band that I liked
and Gina remarked how they sounded like Depeche Mode and I put that bit in the
review. That’s who I thought The
Caution Children were, which is why I was excited for them to be on cassette,
but apparently my signals got crossed and this is a band I did write a brief
review for however not the one I originally thought.
To
throw another wrench into my works, the title of this cassette also makes me
believe that this is a collection of three songs, but it’s actually a full
album of ten songs, so go figure on the title I guess.
The
Caution Children are hardcore and metal, but closer to screamo as well. Bands like You’ll Live, The Dedication and
Grade come out, though I don’t have an exact comparison to make with them
because they still have their own sort of vocal styling, which is always
important in a screamo band.
The
music can get slow and instrumental at times, where they kind of show off that
they can truly play, and at other times it’s just all out mayhem crossing
between metal chugging chords and the as-fast-as-you-can punk mentality.
I
do feel like this music is coming back, if it was ever really gone, and there
are obviously going to be a lot of bands that are just bad at it, but The
Caution Children are one of the good ones.
In the mid to late ‘90’s and early ‘00’s I listened to this genre take
off and I’m not really big on revisiting it any more often than I have to, but
when I find a band that is of this caliber it becomes my pleasure to revisit
it.
