Genre: Post Hardcore
For Fans Of: Attack Attack, The Word Alive, Pierce The Veil.

Before you falls debut ep, the production isn't that good but it still cuts the cake when you listen to it. It still gives off this vibe of a post-hardcore band and still kind of catches your attention when you listen to it. This ep wasn't the best for a debut but it definitely really shows you what something from this band would sound like. The only real major flaw of the ep was the production everything else was pretty spot on and greatly done, but if the production was a bit different it would probably been a lot better for them.

“We Have No Shame”
First song on the ep and I’d have to say the guitar play on this song is pretty good and catchy, along with the lyrics of course being angry and what not.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocalist kind of has a new style for post hardcore, his voice really goes well with the style though and he is definitely one in a million.
Screams: The screamer on the other hand is more aggressive it’s more lie he’s angry when he does his screams.
Instruments: There is some great guitar play for sure on this song, the overall sound is pretty good to, definitely kind of shows of their sound on the first song so the listener can know what to expect from this band.

“Your Hair A Wig And Everyone Knows It”
The songs name alone will kind of draw the listener in the name is sort of humorous. The screamer does something with his screams that is kind of unexpected as soon as he starts screaming and catches the listener off guard.
Cleans: The clean vocalist kind of sounds like Craig Mabbit around the middle of the song, which is very unexpected to hear, but it definitely catches you off guard.
Screams: Still, the screamer sounds mad a bit, but his style is a bit different but doesn't lose the aggression touch at all.
Instruments:  This song has some great guitar play in this I’d have to say, but the drumming really makes it sound better and the drumming a bit more easier to hear.

“I Wish You Would”
This song has a pretty good intro it, it sort of draws you in to the song which isn’t really a bad thing, the screams are a bit lower than on the last two songs.
Cleans:  The clean vocals are straighter forward on this song, I think that’s one way the vocals kind of set themselves apart from other bands.
Screams: The screamer are a bit lower than they were on the last two songs, but still pretty angry and definitely didn’t change much.
Instrument: The instruments on this song are pretty faster and speedy along with heavy, I’d have to say but it’s still pretty good to listen to.

“Visions”
This song is my favorite off this ep I’d have to say, it has everything a good post hardcore song needs, good cleans, good screams, a great overall sound behind it and it’s definitely the one song I’d tell people to listen to when they first listen to this band. The lyrics are my favorite thing in the song I’d have to say if I was to pick out something.
Breakdown:
Cleans: The clean vocals are once again, straight to the point and the range is kind of high in this song but it doesn't hurt anyone to change ranges a few times.
Screams: The screamer sounds angrier than ever before on this song, his lows are pretty I guess you could say brutal.
Instruments: The overall sound really helps the screamer with the angry aspect of the song, the guitar is my favorite thing in this song along with the lyrics.

“RAWR Means I Hate You”
The song title it kind of funny which kind of will make someone want to listen it but which is nice, it definitely was a good way to end off the ep, I’d have to say but the factor of the production could be a bit better.
Breakdown:
Cleans: There’s a mixture of cleans with the screams, the cleans kind of have the voice to them that you usually don’t hear in post hardcore it’s a bit different for the genre, but it surely makes this band stand out when you listen to them.
Screams: The screamers style is very aggressive and it seems like he’s angry when he screams which is a very nice style to have, with these cleans even better I’d have to say.
Instruments: The song is very heavy, the ep ends on a very heavy note which is cool to end on, a lot of debut. Seem to end on soft ones, before you fall did something kind of different.

Rating: 6/10
