Fuck Avril! Throwing a few guitars into
the mix doesnt not make a pop princesses a rocker and putting her into
a skater-punk uniform doesnt either. With the Avrils and Kellys purported
to be the females representing rock it makes you scratch your head and
ask can women really front a rock band in this day and age? Sunset
Arms answer the question loud and clear: YES!
Sunset Arms delivers a powerful metal assault
musically and vocally frontwomen Amanda Carlson take the songs into a different
direction with her Goth meets angry girl alterna rock style.
You can tell that this group is a work
in progress and with the right production Sunset Arms could really be onto
something. The weakest link is the vocals, which get about 80% there but
need a little more refining. But this is far better than the almost comical
vocals of Kittie.
The songs on this demo are raw due mostly
to the vocals. The music itself is well executed although the vocals need
some work, because it seems Amanda resorts to talking instead of singing
most of the time and it gets a little tedious after a while.
Although I would venture to guess that this stuff really goes off live.
Maybe with a budget and the right producer something special can emerge
here and if they worked on the vocal melodies a little more to give them
more variety to carry the songs. It will be interesting to see how this
band evolves and develops.
Nevertheless, this is an interesting band
and definitely different than what your used to.
