Today's blog is about Fight The Current. This is an indie rock band with a sound that is reminiscent to The Goo Goo Dolls. Fight the Current's rock sound is well balanced and easy to listen to. With great guitar abilities, and drum beats that back the rhythm well, their sound never drowns out the vocals which is a very good thing. Their guitars blend well, one never to over power the other. I love that there are several instances in each of their songs Fight the Current provides several solos on the acoustic guitar. I think that's what keeps the sound from becoming too harsh. It is very easy to drown vocals out if you are not careful in your rock sound, Fight the Current does an Amazing job on maintaining their balance through out every song on their myspace.
"So Far From You" is the first song on their play list. This is one of my favorites by this band. The lyrics are phrased just right along the melodies that are carried mostly by the acoustic guitar. The vocals are full of emotion expressing their sorrow without being too whiny. I love the way the drums, acoustic guitar, vocals, and I think what may be a violin, tie together perfectly. I really like this song. The song is about a man that is involved with a woman who is emotionally distant from their relationship. He wants to love her but realizes they are not on the same level when it comes to their love. Definitely worth a listen.
"Breaking out" Starts off with the acoustic guitar carrying the melodic line. Then nonchalantly enters the vocals and drums. All tying together very well. Nothing is too heavy. All sounds are very well balanced. Again, the vocals are sweet and rich with the emotion the lyrics are holding. This song is about getting over a heartache that has held you back in life, moving past it and actually choosing to live your life. Great Song!
"I Know" This tune opens with guitar, drums, and vocals. Again, all tying together well, balancing the sound enough to not be over powering. The lyrics describes a girl that doesn't need materialistic things to keep her happy. The love that she and her man share is enough for her to remain happy. This is what keeps their relationship grounded and the singer loves that about his girl his lyrics are portraying. Another wonderful song.
If you have not heard of Fight The Current, I am hoping this blog will help you with getting to know their sound. Their music is what I like to call "feel good" music. Definitely worth adding to your "driving" play list as I feel this is Great driving music. Go check out Fight The Current and decide for yourself!
