Lakeview - Play It Safe

Posted by Unknown On Monday, March 4, 2013




















Genre: Pop/Post-hardcore
For Fans Of: The Glory Game, For Higher Ground, In League.

Lakeview's sound definitely unique and makes you wonder what’s going to happen next. Theirs a few really nice breakdowns in this song and the vocal style gets very aggressive which makes the listening too this song interesting. The one thing about this song that sets it apart from most pop/post-hardcore bands is that this song is catchy and has poppy choruses but at the same time it’s kind of post-hardcore with a heavy sound behind it. The intro too this song is probably the biggest attention drawer, because when your listening to It, it makes you sort of want to listen to the whole song and maybe give it another listen, these boys sure do know how to draw your attention with their music. The song doesn't have a boring part at all through this song, it’s indeed exciting to through the whole three minutes you’re going to listen to this song, and not a second was wasted. I’m surprised this band hasn't blown up yet, mainly for the reason of their sound sounding different and not like every other post-hardcore band, nor do they rip off anyone else they have their own style and they keep their style. This band is doesn't one band to check out if you don’t listen to them yet.
Breakdown:
Cleans: Their clean vocalist is less aggressive than their screamer, his vocals a bit more calm and relaxed and the flow of his vocals is on point with the song.
Screams: Their screamers style changed up a bit from older music, not big change but they’re definitely learning how to mature certain things in their band which is really good to do after some time. Their screamers style is aggressive and loud and gives you something to really listen too.
Instruments: Pretty soft at the intro, then it just gets really aggressive and heavy, it’s a mixture of changes in this song. The breakdowns get really intense to listen too though.

Rating: 5/5
