Tonight Alive - All Shapes & Disguises


The debut EP by Australian Pop-Punk band Tonight Alive doesnt do anything to fight Paramore comparisons, but it doesn't matter because this is still a really solid EP. If your a fan of the whole synth pop-punk scene that seems to be popular right now. I don't like this kind of pop-punk at all, however this band is not a bad band and this is not a bad EP. Even though they come packaged with all the cliche peices that these bands have, the girly lyrics, big repetitive hooks, a pop cover song, and guy/girl dual vocals at one point. Like I said before this isnt a bad album the lead vocalist Jenna is really the strong point, she doesn't over power the music like some vocalists tend to. There are also some decent musicianship from the rest of the band and interesting structures on certain songs like To Die For and Wasting Away. I'm more interested in hearing a full length from this band to see if there is anymore diversity in their songwriting because they have the talent.
