There is something purely authentic and honest about Infant Island's music. These songs are substantial in their impact that go deep under the surface. The sound mix is everywhere (track 3 on headphones?!?!) with some of the slower nuanced moments giving needed space for maximum effect when the violent intensity hits. But on career highlight "Awoken," they leave nothing behind. A must hear song from an increasingly important band. bcb723
Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021

Classic meat and potatoes screamo, with a mix of the intense, dissonant, wall of sound stuff and the brooding, menacing clean guitar sections. Doesn't reinvent the wheel, but keeps it rolling. I would have preferred some better production, tho, as the loud sections sound wimpy and the cymbals drown out everything. So much for being a purist. The Real Nick House
