Tenderfist sounds better than ever now, just when we thought they were in a ‘This Wasted Heart’ stasis, the boys toured Europe and came back with a promising debut.
Passion Pit’s follow-up to debut Manners is the band going bigger, more self-indulgent, but this only serves frontman Michael Angelakos’ pop acumen better.
Whether intentional or not, CoIC’s childlike (and we don’t mean childish) approach to writing their music gives the instrumental band their charm. There are no pretentious efforts or need for a goreng moment to prove their skills on their respective instruments.
