Hear Me Out is a solid and comprehensive debut from a promising band. It has a distinctive character as the soaked, soulful and often distorted vocals of main man rJordan Cook are married perfectly with his buzzy, electrifying guitars, creating a bluesy garage sound with a grunge ethos. The album is sliced in two parts: the opening four tracks which depict an agitated, frustrated Jordan Cook caught somewhere in the middle between Black Keys and Royal Blood, and the rest ones exhibiting a painful and melancholic side. Recommendations: "Over & Over", "Keeper", "Ritual", "Black and Red".r
