They more than deliver that with “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead.” This track has a dark tone to it, rightfully so. If you prefer the heavier sound from this CA quintet, fear not. Not to mention the infectious chorus, delivered by Jagmin, it’s not hard to see why fans are really loving this one. Guitarists Nick Miller and Labelle deliver some incredible riffs throughout this track that will easily get stuck in your head. This track touches on the concept of fighting for what you believe in, never giving up and never giving in until you’ve reached your dreams. Not only does it deliver something infectious and beautiful, it’s equally ferocious, creating a massive molotov cocktail of brilliance.
Whether you like the catchy, new-found “poppy” style the band has adopted in recent material or, perhaps you enjoy something more along the lines of Wires… and the Concept of Breathing, this track is the best of both worlds. Starting with the lead single, “Bring Me A War,” this album comes out of the gate swinging. Vocalists Michael Jagmin (Clean) and Michael Labelle (Screams) have never been more impressive with their delivery! What makes this album worth your time, though? They’ve spent years trying to capture the sound that they’ve wanted to create and it shines through, bigger than ever, on this album. What it is, more than anything, is the band finding their identity. Some might call it a self-titled record and, perhaps it is. Even more impressive is that they haven’t gotten caught up in gimmicks, nor do they need them, to sell records. Now, they’re seasoned professionals, continuing to give it their all, each and every day. At one time, these guys were just naive teenagers who hungered to get their music heard. Here we are in 2015, the band has just released their 5th studio album and they’re proving that they aren’t going anywhere. This took several line-up changes, an unprecedented amount of uncertainty at times and perseverance like no other. Since the release of their debut EP, She Watched the Sky, the band has paved their way through the post-hardcore scene, eventually climbing to soaring heights. CA’s A Skylit Drive is the epitome of hard work. 10 years of struggle, 10 years of facing certain destruction at any moment. That’s 10 years of blood, sweat and tears. 10 years can hold a lot of weight, though, especially to bands. A decade: you might think of it as just 10 years.
