A Foreward is Sleeper Set Sail's debut for established
Canadian indie Sonic Unyon, and it's a five track EP featuring two
previously released tunes, two songs scheduled to appear on their new
full-length, and one exclusive number. The name of the game here is impassioned
emo/alt. rock, filled with angsty lyrics and dramatic but melodic
song structures. What it lacks in creativity it makes up in energy and
musical solidness. These are enjoyable, catchy tunes that have a
radio-ready quality to them. Indeed, your average alternative rock
listener will feel right at home alongside winners like
"Lifejacket" and "Patterns In Your Dash." The band
proves their worth in energy with romping songs "The
Redeemer" and "Phases," but also reveals a sensitive
side with the meandering "Patterns In Your Dash" and
"People Say It Makes Me Look Younger." Recommended for fans
of No Knife, Piebald, and even Dashboard Confessional.
