Really stoked for this record. Australian pop punk is where it's at.

 

Australia is killing it right now

 

Yep I'm officially pumped for this album. No way, they're Australian? They really are killing it.

 

I really like the new song sonically, but these lyrics are a bit weak imo :(

 

Someone already beat you to it: Yours Truly - Self Care (Sept. 18, 2020) • forum.chorus.fm

 

Ah, it didn't show up when I searched but looked like our threads got merged now. Neat.

 

Really excited for this record. The Australian scene is killing it.

 

second half of this is much stronger

 

This did not do much for me on first listen unfortunately. Will have to give it a few more spins.

 

Listened to the first few tracks and the band sounds really tight but it's not really anything special. The production on the vocals is strange, like she has a hand in front of the mic. It's just weirdly muffled.

 

This is a very strong debut. On par with Stand Atlantic’s, and if that’s any indication, the next records going to be massive

 

Siamese Souls is not the opener I would have chosen. The chorus is a grower, which is not what you want on a debut pop punk record. But... the rest of the record is fantastic. Minus the penultimate track, an acoustic track that doesn't do much for me. I also want some more interesting guitar tones on a follow-up.

That being said, I'm having fun with this and i can't wait to see where they go from here.

 

Definitely disagree with that, Siamese Souls is such a huge opener, hate to be this guy since it’s a tired comparison for female fronted bands, but it reminds me a lot of how For a Pessimist introduces Riot

 

Fair enough, but the chorus melody was forgettable the first three or so times I heard it, which was not the case for pretty much the rest of the record. Maybe it's how loud the record is, from a mix/master perspective? Her voice is drowned out in the chorus of that song, which might be why it was hard for me to pick up the hook.

 

Yeah I can see that. I agree that the mixing of her vocals is a little muddled. I think they EQ’d out too much of the higher frequencies which makes her sound muffled

 

This is good, although I don't think it's near Stand Atlantic quality, but it's a promising debut. The singer is a very good vocalist but I do agree with whoever said that her vocals sound a little muffled.

 

Really enjoying this record a ton

 

This is just okay for me after a few listens. Will be tough for it to have staying power when there's been so much good pop punk lately (Stand Atlantic, Broadside, Knuckle Puck, Seaway, Movements, MGK)

 

isn't mgk a rapper?

 

You should check his latest songs, veered into pop punk territory. Been working with Travis Barker a lot

 

not what I would have expected to read today

 

Well, get this....it’s surprisingly pretty good

 

He's dropping an entire pop punk album with Travis on drums this Friday. One of the songs was in the new Tony Hawk remake. It's going to do pretty well as a pop punk record

 

That new Seaway single is quite literally a Big Vibe too.

Also they literally kicked out a member because he became a cop. I can back that kinda stuff.
