Apparitions - We Are Never Getting Back together

Genre: Post Hardcore
For Fans Of: Designs, Famous Last Words, This Twilight City

So the guys in apparitions made a Taylor Swift cover, and it’s really good. The clean vocalist had this high vocal range that just sounds incredible and the screamer has this aggressively mid-high type of a range. Put these to vocal styles in one song and you have something seriously great. This band definitely is something I’d tell people to listen to, this cover is brilliant. I’d hope this band has a bright future, the vocalists really do impress me, and the overall sound of the band, they have this pop and post hardcore feel to them, something that isn't in many post hardcore bands and it’s surely knew to feel with post hardcore band. I definitely give this band some props to making something original and keeping it that way. My first listening to this song I was completely blown away, I just wasn't expecting anything this band has in this song, plus the two bands that feature in this song, Famous Last Words and She Screams Of Royalty, you can one of those bands as backup vocals, having two bands that somewhat fit and somewhat don’t was definitely a great thing for them to, because in the end those bands plus this band is just crazy to hear and highly impressive, I’m seriously wondering why this guys haven’t got picked up by a label, big or small it doesn’t matter just why they haven’t got signed by anyone is beyond me.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocalist has this seriously high type of a range which isn't really expected to hear from this band, because if you know the other Apparitions (No clue why they have the same name) but they’re more metal and strictly metal, so you kind of have that mindset listening to this band, then when you actually listening to this band you’re completely blown away because it sounds like pop and metal mixed together. Which is new, some bands try but don’t come as close as these guys that’s for sure.
Screams: The screamer has his mid-high type of a scream, it fits with the band’s sound really well, and the cleans plus the screams make the songs come alive and give it the original type of feeling to them, which is one reason I can say I like both of these vocalists. Both vocalists have something to offer to the band’s sound, which I guess goes with any band out there today, but this band kind of does it a bit better.
Instruments: The instruments are heavy and have a really good flow to them through this song, and if anything the instruments being heavy still kind of give off that pop vibe which isn't something you’d really hear from most heavy band or post hardcore bands, so that was completely new to hear but when you hear it you know it sounds really good and it has your full blown attention, another thing I kind of like about this band, the vocals have somewhat of an influence on the instruments, the cleans kind of get the song softer and slower, the screams gets the song faster and heavier, something that works really well to this bands advantage.
