 Every once in a while, a band makes a huge leap in their genre, stretching boundaries and pushing themselves to the edge. If you're looking for a band like that, then check out the new Circa Survive or something. Dear Dad, Yours Truly's Untitled Demo 2009 is a dive into the pool of a metal sound that listeners of the genre have seen done one thousand times. While Dear Dad aren't breaking ground on anything breathtaking here, they successfully execute the sound they were going for and do it in an enjoyable fashion, for the most part.
The six-song, 30-minute demo shows off staples of the genre: clean vocals with background screams entering in and out, heavy guitar riffs, and well-placed guitar solos. What I said shouldn't be taken the wrong way - Dear Dad write good hard rock/metal music and fans of the genre will surely enjoy this South Floridian group. While the vocals on "Once More" show comparisons to southern rock bands like Saving Abel, the guitar work on "Wanted Man" reveals that the band are capable of writing excellent melodic rock. The combination seems to work, as the guitar solo and riff on "Wanted Man" remind me of a cross between The Crusade-era Trivium and better parts of Bullet for my Valentine. The EP as a whole might prove to be somewhat forgettable for some listeners, but I'm sure that others will buy into the band's sound and follow them, as Dear Dad's Untitled Demo is definitely a good stepping stone for a group whose first release was in 2008. "Saint of Sin" proves to be the highlight of the EP with Daniel Rayon's vocals shining through, but the most impressive part of these demos as a whole is Daniel Cartagena's guitar playing, which carries most of the songs and provides a much-needed saving grace....full text |
