Reviews / Album

The post-hardcore veterans inject some much-needed aggression and urgency.

What Means the Most, by melodic hardcore standouts, Climates is a record that discourages passive listening and really makes you think.

The indie-pop twins ditch the guitars for synths to create an instantly catchy electro-pop record.

Yes, their experimenting with synth compliments the tragically emotive themes, but it also fuels – and tries to sell – empty songs that lack real storytelling.

There are numerous chapters still to be written, but this does a fine job of detailing their story up to now.

Despite comparisons to Paramore, after hearing Threads, it’s hard to liken their intelligent brand of pop punk to the likes of more trendy, indie acts.

It’s Delphic, but not as you know it.

Acoustic punk rock beer songs.

There’s tinkering and percussion aplenty, but it doesn’t ebb and flow, there’s no sense of a climax and, without that, Diaspora is simply an inoffensive collage of sound.
