So I've been pretty much not writing
because I lack the motivation to really put my thoughts to words or
more specifically remember them long enough to write them down but
recently in between my personal life being kind of shitty I've
managed to start trying to devote myself into the whole local music
scene here in Kansas City because I remember the tail end of last
year and my year end having a lot of local music acts on it and I
recently went to a showcase where a bunch of up and coming bands got
the chance to really play for a decent sized crowd of people and
after telling enough of them how good they're doing I figured I'd
cover a few songs, ep's, and bands from my neck of the woods in
something called the KC Showcase where I talk about local acts worth
your time.
Brave the Spirit-The Beautiful Fight
I'm not going to lie I only really
caught this group's last song at the showcase I went to but I
remember being impressed with the song enough to compliment and get a
hold of them via social media and recently got informed of this
little EP they've been working on called the Beautiful Fight.
This record is some straightforward
high energy acoustic heavy alternative rock with vocals that feel a
bit early 2000's emo at points but in a very good way and you really
can hear the energy and desire these guy's have to craft tracks they
want you to remember the more and more you rotate this little
collection of songs and it's opening track Hey Kid does a good job of
getting things moving right out of the gate with a very heavy
acoustic guitar and a synth beat that you could actually sing on it's
own which leads to a tune that really keeps on staying good even
after repeated listens.
The next track Lucy is a bit more of a
dreamy affair and a solid song in it's own right as well as it's
following track Limousines which in some odd ways reminds me a bit of
another Kansas City act known as Josephine Collective with it's
woa-oh's dominating the chorus and lyrics that feel straight out of
early 2000s crushes which are all good in my book.
I will say that if there's a track
that'll get you invested it'd certainly be this albums closer Inside
Out which in all honesty is a very simple song that seems to just
work on the principle of being a solidly great song with a
straightforward approach and a sound that feels like it's the track
that they really REALLY put an effort into making the biggest and
most memorable song and it's a great closer to what's a solid
collection of tracks that you'll find yourself rotating more and more
and really just enjoying the songs even more.
Overall this Ep's pretty damn good and
I'd advise taking the time to give it a listen because they just
released it on Spotify today and below will be a few links to their
various social media outlets so you can tell them what you think.
