Album Review: Crown The Empire - Retrograde

Retrograde chimes in with a soft piano charms before the vocals on Sk-68 initiate the album as if it was a cult.

Are You Coming With Me? takes over with aggressive guitars as lead singer David Escamilla hits all the right notes with his clean vocals. Lucky Us is a heavier screamo track, but clean enough for us to understand all the words, while Weight Of The World and Signs Of Life could be mistaken for Simple Plan tracks with their punk rock sound, almost like they doesn't belong. With screaming verses, melodic hooks and anthemic power ballads, Crown The Empire have created an addictive post-hardcore album.
