While
there are many qualities of The Bastards of Fate that make me think of both a
punk band and a pop rock type of band, I am hesitant to classify this as pop
punk really. It has these undertones of
a band like The B-52’s, yet it has some broader commercial appeal of something
modern such as The Killers.
The
songs have strings in them as well, which are just beautiful and just
orchestrated as Yellowcard uses them for instance. It could almost be a cross between Bowling
for Soup (who really isn’t that bad once you get deeper into their catalog) and
Modest Mouse, which needless to say sort of forms its own sound unique to
Bastards of Fate.
Some
of the more pure rock qualities within these melodic harmonies can remind me of
Forgive Durden, but overall I thoroughly enjoy this record because though I
have not heard their first one this definite has its own voice and it’s a good
one.
