Band: Hands Like Houses Album: Ground Dweller
The Review:
Yes this is their first album, I have yet to get a hold of their new one that came out this year. But maybe I will be doing another review of these dudes soon then. One of the first things I noticed when I gave this band a listen through, they sounded like a band I played a few shows with. It was an awesome band called The Messenger. They were from Long Beach, CA, they disbanded, but this band has the same feel as they do. Powerful clean vocals being a main focus, with pretty awesome heavy and melodic guitar playing. Not to mention the drums on point. It's really pop driven vocals with awesome heavy instruments. Really great sound this band hand. I was listening to this album again and I figured I needed to do a review of these dudes. These guys have similar sounds with the likes of bands; Emarosa and Broadway.
Check out the songs, "This Aint No Place For Animals," "A Clown and His Pipe," and my album favorite "Lion Skin, Ft. Johnny Craig." That song is fabulous. Now, don't dis Craig, he did his bull crap and cleaned up his mess responsibly. That dude is talented. Now they have a few great songs, but not every song is a winner. A few of them do sound just like another song of theirs. I will let you go and listen and decide for yourself. They are talented no doubt, but a few of these songs sound like I hit repeat while I'm listening through this album. That being said, I give Ground Dweller Three and a Half Spotlights. I like these guys enough to most certainly check out their newest album which I need to get on.
