A Half superb release from the islands little label.
D.O.T.F have the first half of the CD , 3 melodic , emotianly charged songs.Personaly I have never really been a huge fan of Emo/Post-hardcore Bands but There is just something about D.O.T.F that makes me like them!! This is what i would call summer music ,fast catchy guitar riffs, upbeat melodic music, but at time's heavy guitars, fast drumming and heavy vocals, fussing pop punk and emo with a tinge of hardcore , it goes perfectly on a hot summers day when your having a stroll with your walkman on, singing along to the catchy lyrics that flow through the songs. D.O.T.F do have there downfalls though in my opinion , the lyrics are good on a whole but there a little genric and the kind of thing you have heard a thousand times before, and the vocals can get a little bit irratating and whiney. but still deffinatly a band to keep your eye out for D.O.T.F Tracks ;
we still believe
the start over season
you almost died saving me
Day of the fight, M.M.W-Rating 4/5
For fans of : F.F.A.F,thursday,ruben,kensis
Next up is weiser, and to be honest there shite compared D.O.T.F. Maybe it's just me but i found there 3 songs quite agonising and painful to listen to. Incredibly Slow music with streched out whiney vocals. Maybe if your into the whole emo thing then you might like them , but to somone who stands on the fence whith emo (like me) this is how not to do it. The song 'joker card'is the only remotly likeable song with shouty lyrics with a funky bass line , deffinatly there best song on the split. The lyrics are the only upside with this bands songs, clever use of english and wordage. A decent attempt, but compared to the 3 songs that are first , they just dont match up .
