Louder Than Love Comes in Loud and Clear on Dark Days

Before I went under the knife for surgery, I got an email about ex-jazz players who have a love of modern rock and have just released a unique album entitled Dark Days.

First off, thanks goes out to their publicist for the email and the kind words about the site. After getting my hands on Dark Days, I was pleasantly surprised at what I heard (I know that I say that a lot; believe it or not there have been bands that have been submitted where I thought to myself “Yeah…not gonna happen”).

The jazz influence of the musicians is definitely prevalent -- you can hear it in the way the songs are structured. While Nicole described the album as the members expressing their love for modern rock, don’t expect to hear a song that could double as a track from Breaking Benjamin.

In fact, Dark Days is one of the rare albums I have heard recently that actually gets stronger as the album goes on. Songs like ‘Michelle’ and ‘Rain’ (the mandatory ballad) are the last two tracks of the album, but are some of the best songs on it.

Below I have the songs ‘Chemical Love’ and ‘Flood the Gates.’

While ‘Chemical Love’ is a really great song, it’s a little harder and more rock-oriented than most of the other stuff on the album. ‘Flood the Gates’ is a much better example of what you will find on the majority of the album.

Overall, the album may be titled Dark Days‘ but with the proper exposure there are certainly nothing but bright days ahead for Louder Than Love.
