You’ll Live “Things Would Change if You Heard This”
Recently, I’ve been downloading and listening to music like crazy from Band Camp. This is a review of a group of songs by the same band I got from Band Camp- usually it constitutes an EP. This is a song-by-song review and it is never to exceed six songs. At the end, I will tell you the “Recommended Downloading Level”, which means whether or not I think you should spend your time downloading these songs. It’s on a scale from 1 to 5, 5 meaning that you should stop reading my review and download these songs immediately and 1 meaning that if you even think about downloading these songs your computer will be infected with a horrific bad music virus. Enjoy.
<1> “Just Some Broken Glass” – This has some pretty good screaming in it, and at first there is more than one guy doing the screaming. There is this great guitar riff that I bet is just spectacular live. It reminds me of A Trunk Full of Dead Bodies for some reason.
<2> “If Only You Knew” – This kind of has a whiny screaming quality to it, but not enough for me to completely hate it. I actually really do like it because even though it’s not necessarily hardcore or “screamo”, it’s definitely a step above emo. I like that it has that added sort of punk to it and the vocals are closer to screaming than whining for certain. This song also has a nice little part near the end I really enjoy.
<3> “Awake” – This starts a bit quieter at first, then kicks in with the screaming. I really feel like this band sounds very close to someone I heard before, a while ago, but I just can’t put my finger on who exactly it is yet. Though, You’ll Live, to their credit, have more complexity to their music.
<4> “Lost in the Tide” – And we start with clapping. It could honestly be The Canterbury Effect that I’m hearing in here, but when I reference that band does anyone know what I’m talking about? This song does have more of an indie rock with screaming feel to it. I really like this line: “And I go swimming in the ocean where you thought I’d drown / And I play in the graveyard that I hoped to be in by now” After another two lines it also leads into a nice breakdown.
<5> “High Fives for Victor” – And if you’re not sold by this song, I have no hope left for you. Go download these five songs for free and you can thank me later.
Recommended Downloading Level: 4/5
