Can You Feel This Energy?
Energy is amazing. Wow. No bullshit, I have not been this genuinely excited about a band in awhile. Energy released their debut EP, Punch the Clock, earlier in the year on Rock Vegas Records. Hailing from Boston, MA, Energy is not your typical hardcore punk band. More on the upbeat, melodic side than your usual dose of tough as nails, gritty hardcore, Energy utilizes a sound not unlike that of a younger AFI. Think All Hallow's EP/The Art of Drowning era AFI, with a bit more of a modern melodic hardcore sound, and you've got Energy. Hell, even their album cover is reminiscent of the covers of the 2 AFI albums I mentioned.
I enjoyed hearing a band's vocalist belt out more clear vocals, and the "whoooo-oooooo" sing-a-long style choruses sealed the deal. Most of the songs manage to be very energetic, I suppose living up to their namesake, even at varying lengths (Lost and Found at 0:37 & Bushwhacked at 2:04). The last track on the EP is a cover, and needless to say, I thought it would've been an AFI cover, but I was pleasantly surprised as I heard Energy dishing out their rendition of Everlong from the Foo Fighters.
I'm not sure why I slept on this band, but I do regret it as they have already toured in my area and I missed 'em, but I won't let that happen again.
Notable tracks: Streetlights & Bushwhacked
Energy's Punch the Clock CDEP
AFI's All Hallow's EP
AFI's The Art of Drowning
Not saying they're a complete AFI rip-off because they're not, but they do have their similarities. Maybe it's just me...
