SBSR: Embracer s/t

Name Your Price Download

<1> “Ronin” – This song begins in a pop punk, emo type of way.   I’m thinking now that I found this under the emo tag on Band Camp, though the band name made me think hardcore or post rock at least.   But yeah, this is pretty standard pop punk only now they’re getting a little heavy.   This does sound a lot like The Used to me when he screams in the chorus.    This song is taking some turns throughout, but it maintains its core sound.   Home is where the heart is / Home is where it hurts the most.   Maybe so, but what happens when you have no home? 


<2> “The Fox & The Huntsman” – Here we go with a little bit more energy and a running sort of guitar riff.  If this band was not produced by Feldy, he should look into producing them.   And now the vocals come in somewhere between Plain White T’s (before they switched singers) and The Exit.    This has a really familiar sound to it, but I’ve been so out of touch with emo.   It’s getting some angry starts and stops in the chorus without the screaming.  And now it’s breaking down acoustic style.   He shot up into Heaven, but the gates we closed.   I bet that lyric is a reference to drugs.   Within the last forty seconds or so of this song, we gets an almost blues feel to it.
