TimeAgain
Time Again, what to say about them. They are fricking awesome. This album blew me away. The song Stories Are True featuring Tim Armstrong was my favorite song on the cd, they are great. I also like'd the newest album "Darker Days" which came out in April of 08.
Time Again's band members Daniel Dart, Oren Soffer, Ryan Purucker, and Elijah Reyes started out in 2004. Since forming in 2004, Time Again have taken their distinctive brand of adrenaline-fueled street punk from the club scene of their hometown Los Angeles to sold-out venues all over the US and Canada as well as across the pond to the festival stages of Europe and England. Supporting such acts as Social Distortion, Rancid, Tiger Army and The Casualties, just to name a few. A far cry from their humble beginnings when they were hustling their self titled EP's on the streets to raise money for tour. Time Again doesn't just build upon their already established sound with their second full-length album "Darker Days". They push the boundaries and deliver an album filled with emotional suspense and angst driven intensity; triumphantly emerging as a tighter, more focused band. Because of Time Again's non-stop touring schedule, the majority of Darker Days was written in back-stages, hotel rooms, and often times right in their tour van. Coming straight off the road, and into the studio, they enlisted long time friend Mike Green to produce the record. "He's just so talented, and easy to work with"- Dart says, "all of the songs felt so right and came so naturally." This was further confirmed by the recording sessions. They completed “Darker Days” (the recording/mixing and mastering process) in only 6 days. While the sound is more sonically impressive all around, the raw energy and grit of Time Again's live performances is cleverly captured on the recordings. The album's opener "Day Like This" begins with Daniel Dart proclaiming "This is my world! This is my life!"- A statement that lets the listener know the band hasn't strayed from the deeply personal topics that made their debut album so meaningful and inspiring. The song then explodes into a barrage of punk rock mayhem that could very well serve as the soundtrack to a street brawl! But the song's main feature is in an out-of-nowhere chorus that is sure to raise the hairs on the back of your neck. The song perfectly showcases the bands new arsenal as well as foreshadowing what is to come.
Time Again is an amazing band, and i think they deserve some of your time to listen to them. Their AWESOME!!!! Check them out.. |
