For Fans Of: Artist Vs Poet, NeverShoutNever, D At Sea.
I’m not really huge into the whole acoustic scene of music, but there are some bands that are really worth listening to, and Shout London has to be one of those bands that support that pretty well. Shout London definitely has his talents down and knows how to sing pretty well, the overall sound is great with his vocals I’d have to say. The lyrics are definitely a huge factor that makes this ep a bit better to listen to and makes the songs have some meaning behind them which is probably the biggest thing bands need now a days, Shout Landon definitely knows how to write a good song as well. The main thing that sucks about the ep is that songs are short, and it’s a really short ep to listen to.
“Figure It Out”
First song on the ep and it definitely is one of the best
ways for him to start off this ep, the lyrics, the overall sound is just
something that all comes together and makes something worth listening to and
something worth wild in the acoustic genre.
Breakdown:
Cleans: His cleans have a really nice flow to them, and it
sounds pretty good his range isn't too high or too low, just kind of right.
Instrument: the acoustic guitar play is pretty nice, the
drums behind it plus the vocals really make the song come alive and do it some
justice.
“Don’t You Dare”
The song’s lyrics are really nice and they’re kind of
catchy, if they ever play a show live this would be the song I’d want to hear
from them the most, out of everything else this might be the one song I’ll
listen to over and over again because of the lyrics, you can somewhat relate on
this song.
Breakdown:
Cleans: His vocals
somewhat sound like they do on the last song, same range and sound, his range
kind of gets lower in a few moments on the song, his voice is what really makes
the vocals stick out to be honest.
Instruments: The song has a nice acoustic type of an intro
to it, the it’s kind of soft until the drums come in and kind of make the song
better, the song is kind speedy with the instruments, it kind of sucks because
it’s a good song it’s just too short.
“Give Me A Chance”
I’m pretty sure most people will listen to this song first
or second because of the song title, because they’ll think they can relate to
the song or it’s going to have some great lyrics and a catchy tune behind it,
which it does. Almost everything Shout London has written on this EP has a
great tune and some really nice lyrics to the songs.
Breakdown:
Cleans: His vocals kind
of change a bit in this song but he still does his thing and doesn’t make it
boring or change it horribly he does the change perfectly to fit with sound and
his range
Instruments: The guitar at the beginning kind of has that sound
to draw you into the song, and the guitar play is great on the song, the sound
behind his vocals make the song really come at you and come alive which is
something he’s really good and it’s really impressive.
“A Little Bit Longer”
As soon as the song started I thought it was going to be an
acoustic song without anything else, then came this techno bit and had me
wondering how the song will sound like fully, so I listened to it more and this
song’s lyrics are sort of deep, well not sort of they are deep, in a way it
kind of reminded me a love song.
Breakdown:
Cleans: I think this song may have the most emotion behind
it honestly he shows it pretty well, and definitely makes the song come alive
and shows that the lyrics are serious and if this is a love song it sounds like
he’s singing it to whoever this is meant for.
Instruments: The vibe was kind of sad the instruments were
giving off, but it only matched the vocals to be honest which was really good
because the emotion in the vocals was definitely there.
“The Fight”
Last song and this also happens to be the longest song on
the whole ep, it has a really good intro to it, I think he might have made this
song longer and the last one to get you to listen to it again, which if so it wasn't really a bad idea and it definitely worked for me, I probably played the
ep a few times after the first time listening to, it’s something that’s really
good and I can only hope the best for these guys in their careers they
definitely do deserve everything they’ll be given. I hope to see these guys end
up getting bigger and get signed and do some shows and write a full-length in
their future of being Shout London.
Breakdown:
Cleans: This song kind of has some heavy emotions to it, it
sounds like it does, but to be honest it kind of sounds like he’s rushing the
song with his vocals, I’m glad it’s the longest song though, his vocal tone and
the emotion it seems like he’s trying to give off kind of helps the song with
its lyrics. The vocalist of Shout London is definitely one of a kind and has a
lot of talent with his vocals, even when he’s trying to give an emotion off it’s
there with his vocals which is really impressive to hear in such a small
acoustic band, he might be one of the best I've heard in this genre.
Instruments: The instruments really help out the vocals with
the vibe and the emotions part, there isn’t just a guitar on this song either
and a drum set, there’s a bit more effects added to make the song even better
to listen to.
