Self-titled CD

'Ours to Destroy'

Reviewed by Damon Kellard



A collection of interesting and quirky songs and song melody, comprised by a slew of political ideals, and a very eclectic mix of genres. The album is a caldron of mixed melodies and chopped riffs, spiced with samples and diversified lyrical melodies. A stew of influences stretches from the strange Tom Waits alternative folk, to Beck’s intense lyrical notions.

 

Categorizing this album is nearly impossible, but the message is clear in their anarchist battle with societal mishaps, that they make it known that they are a separation from the mainstream, and a very nice relief from the mainstreams corporate conglomeration.


Tr. 1 Checkmate - Very upbeat and powerful chorus built up by a very driving and interesting chorus
Tr. 8 Exorcising Demons - More laid back track with great ambient noise layering the background of a great lyrical melody
Tr. 12 Unglued - Great acoustic track with a great production producing interesting guitar lines and melodies


 

 

Damon Kellard’s band, Think Alike can be heard on myspace.com/thinkalike. He is currently popping up in several projects including Maozeh and Robert Francis. He also reviews new music for his own blog on www.melodytrip.com, American Chronicle, and Artrocker Magazine in the UK, and reviews new artists for Bryan Farrish Radio Promotions. Perhaps the lyrics to one of his songs sums it up: “So don’t be afraid to look for what’s different/A spot to rebel a moment to unite/Under the same idea”.
