New Kaddisfly Song
Kaddisfly – The Four Seasons EP
Artist: Kaddisfly
Album: The Four Seasons EP
Label: Hopeless Records
Purchase: Download Punk
Release Date: October 24th, 2006
Overall: 7.9
Music: 9.0
Lyrics: 6.9
Production: 7.9
All to often we discriminate based on the bandâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s name even though that really doesnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t have much, if anything to do with the music itself. Seemingly stupid I know but it happens. Kaddisfly fell into that category for me, a band that Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢d heard in passing but never had enough interest based on their name to check out. Though Iâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢m sorry I hadnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t checked them out sooner.
Kaddisfly is a band that reminded me right of the bat of a more pop, more mainstream friendly version of Brazil (fearless records). Thatâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s not to say one band is better or worse, merely comparing the similarities. Intricate guitar parts, soaring vocals and typically quick spoken (sung) lyrics make up the EP â┚¬Ã…”The Four Seasonsâ┚¬?. These songs are tremendously catchy, and pull you in very quickly. For example the song â┚¬Ã…”Campfireâ┚¬? starts with the lyrics â┚¬Ã…”welcome to your life, you better watch your stepsâ┚¬Ã‚¦Ãƒ¢Ã¢”š¬? and even after those few words itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s hooked you.
This EP is a preview of what to expect from Kaddisflyâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s upcoming album in which every song will be representing a different month (12 songs), and the songs will be grouped in threes, with each group representing a different season (4 seasons). Itâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢s a really cool concept although I just donâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t know how well it will turn out. Each of the songs on the EP was from a different â┚¬Ã…”seasonâ┚¬?, but I couldnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t tell and thus leads me to think that the concept part of the record will be lost on people, however it doesnâ┚¬Ã¢”ž¢t take away from the music.
Track listing
1. Games (Unreleased B-Side)
2. Campfire
3. Empire
4. Silk Road
5. Mercury
