Beecher – “Beecher”
They will probably be hailed as pure genius because the metallic emo-hardcore they play is everything and more: lots of moshy parts with the breakdowns, the high-register, screamed/child-throwing-a-temper-tantrum vocals, the occasional clean-sung parts and lots of melodic, postpunk licks, as well as a bit of offbeat parts. Plus, they definitely sound hungry and excited to be doing what they do, which always helps in getting across the emotion. Honestly though, there is a huge hardcore bandwagon that people are riding in 2005. It remains to be seen who will be left standing. There is nothing here that suggests that this is particularly great: just another “pretty good” hardcore band.
