Band Spotlight
I write this spotlight with mixed emotions. I'm stoked to have discovered a new band that I would love to sign to Dying Scene Records, but I'm f'ing pissed to not have discovered them early enough to have done so. The Stifled is a Baltimore foursome that just released their self-titled debut EP, and if I didn't know better I'd think this was Dying Scene Records band A Dying Regime partnered up with the singer from DS Records' first signing, Yankee Brutal. Skate punk with metallic undertones. Melodic vocals with a healthy dose of snarls and gang shouted backups. Fast and heavy. Catchy but angry. My sweet spot. Give the EP a spin here and compare it to a couple choice tracks from Yankee Brutal and A Dying Regime and tell me I'm wrong with this comparison.
AJJ has never let me down, this took a little longer to get into but after a few good listens i realized the beauty behind it, thanks for another killer album!
Naturally after extremely enjoying the first two albums I thought this would be no different. I was wrong, after 3 full listens i found myself extremely let down. No songs really stood out as catchy and most stood out half assed. Maybe stza should focuis and point more time into the next SFH or possibly LOC album instead of releasing one after another.
