Music Reviews
The Rocket Summer
Of Men and Angels
Island Records
is home to some incredibly talented performers such as Sum 41, Mariah
Carey, and Bon Jovi. On February 23rd, another talented member
of the Island Records family will release their latest album.
Titled, Of
Men and Angels, this release by The Rocket Summer, offers fun,
phenomenal musicality and a bit of faith rolled into one. This
spiritually-charged Pop/EMO album delivers 15 incredible tracks ranging
from ballads like, Tara, I’m Terrible to strong Pop/EMO tracks
like I Want Something To Live For and Light.
It is easy to
hear echoes of Boys Like Girls, Panic At the Disco, Death Cab for Cutie
and other great Pop/EMO bands throughout this album. However, this album
isn’t simply an homage to this genre. Instead Bryce Avery, better known
as The Rocket Summer, delivers a unique and incredible mix of tracks, each
one better than the next. It is easy to see why he has played on the
Warped Tour and had the honor of playing at the White House.
If you are a fan of great Pop/EMO music, set your alarm and grab this album when it debuts on February 23rd.
