You've had a taste of There for Tomorrow slowed down, but in today's post you'll hear their true sound, a powerful, ass-kicking rock affair with great hooks, lyrics, instrumentals, and vocals. Their debut album, A Little Faster, blew me away, and the first track, entitled "The Remedy," represents the rest of the album very well.
What There for Tomorrow does so successfully is to combine two oppsing ideas and combine them into a masterpiece, or 11 masterpeices really, as each song is phenominal. They combine pop and post-hardcore, rock sensibilities with power ballad vocals, and powerful hooks with deep lyrics. "The Remedy" begins with a gritty guitar intro which blasts into a rush of energy fueled by guitar riffs and technical drumming. Lead singer Maika Maile is incredibly talented, up there with Saosin's legendary Cove Reber. Verses are fast but subdued, creating a launch for the explosion of each chorus, which, though catchy, bursts like a missile in rock and post-hardcore armor. The bridge is an epic rush of passion, which transitions well into a brief "quiet" period leading up to the final choruses. "The Remedy"'s end is a mammoth blast of force, a grand culmination of a rocket-launch of energy. Guitarist Christian Climer adds his vocals for some appreciated variation, and the instrumentals kick into hyperdrive for the song's intensified outro.
If you are not imagining explosions and earthquakes by the end of this song, the volume isn't loud enough. Nearly all of the fast songs on A Little Faster follow a similar formula to "The Remedy," but when the quality is just as good, if not better, why bother changing it? Download "The Remedy" and please please please buy this album!
