There
exists a period of music that has seemingly been forgotten about. It’s after Nirvana, but before all of that
radio rock really took over with the likes of Limp Bizkit and what not. This also isn’t the same genre I like to
go to with rock bands that includes Soul Asylum and the Replacements. I cannot exactly place the bands in this
time frame, though one that did come to mind immediately when listening to “Runaway”
was Kula Shaker for whatever reason.
Saying
there are hints of The Beatles seems like overkill these days, as most bands do
have that aspect to their music, but there is also some Supergrass in here and
it does also get a bit dreamy. There are hints of Oasis, but it isn’t quite
that band just something along those lines, like maybe a band you’d hear open
for them.
The
only other direct sort of influence I could pull was for Stone Temple Pilots
and that would be the “Big Bang Baby” era, since their catalog is rather diverse. But New Faultlines exist in a forgotten era of
rock, one that I am quite fond of and can only be better remembered through the
vehicle known as cassettes.
Perhaps
this cassette will help to remind you of some forgotten band you once saw in
concert or had the t-shirt for, back before grunge became Adidas rock. If
not, you can at least enjoy the fact that this does have a unique rock sound to
it that should just be played loud and deafening.
