With Rock nowadays being split into several sub genres of their own, Remedy are a band that aim to take rock back to its 70s roots. With bands like Led Zeppelin as core influence Remedy produces a debut album that definitely achieves its purpose. The opening number, Last Demand, is a catchy little rock tune however occasionally the vocals are eclipsed by the instrumentals whereas at other times it’s just inconvenient.
At times the bands inexperience does show, in the song ‘Priests & Preachers’ one riff that is repeated one too many times and is not that good anyway. Other influences are extremely evident throughout the album the track entitled ‘Desire’ could count as a cover of AFI’s miss murder. However the band do maintain a consistent vibe that is easy to listen to and enjoy. ‘Learn to speak’ and ‘Scarred deep inside’ are both songs that a little less fast paced but more original and interesting.
At the end of the day this band has a lot of potential and sticks to its sound. With a little bit of knowledgeable guidance this band could make it beyond local battle of the bands competitions.
