Remember Pretty Good? ThatÆs where Dads jammed four tracks of indie-heavy,
math-ridden, emo-punk into your nervous system. ThatÆs where they reminded
you to keep them as a mile-marker for lifeÆs ups and more so, its downs.
IÆll Be The Tornado is the perfect sequel to this as it matches Pretty Good
stride for stride and further envelopes you in John BradleyÆs tragedies. In
terms of DIY indie, Dads bring it again. In spades. This is a powerful
album thatÆll move you in the most melodic of manners.
If youÆre looking for more punk-tastic hits then Dads can service you. And
they do. ôSunburnt Jet Wingsö and ôYou Hold Backö. Scott ScharingerÆs quick
hands on the guitar build such an elaborate portrait for BradleyÆs massive
drums to lay on. They complement each other so well. BradleyÆs agony then
follows with his words feeling like barbs stuck in with no chance of ever
being removed. Now, if you think their quicker pace is what sets them
apart, youÆre dead wrong.
ItÆs when they slow things down and temper to the more emo-melodic side of
things.öButö is one of these tunes. So too is ôFake Kneesö. Both are
ballads (well, the majority of the tracks, at least) that end with huge
climaxes allowing Scharinger to cut loose. Bradley as well. This
balanceàthis effectàis the prime sound where they shine. This is their
A-game. Quiet lulls to noisy ambiances. The genuine feel of the lyrics and
the amazing quality of the production highlight thisàand if you think IÆm
kidding, jump into Pretty Good and then into this record. This is the album
thatÆll win you over and if it doesnÆt put these awesome dudes on the map,
then I donÆt know what will. ItÆs heavy content on the lyrical side but
itÆs also the ideal tapestry for emotional connection to a brilliant
indie-emo-punk aesthetic.
