In addition to the concert reviews I write now about shows in the Munich area, I thought I’d introduce you to new bands from the European area. Starting with the band, As Clarity Falls
They are from Bordeaux, France. Bordeaux is a bigger town (pop. about 250k) in the west of France, about 45 km away from the Atlantic ocean, known worldwide for it’s amazing wine.
But there’s also a band of five guys, currently working on their first fulll-length album. They are called As Clarity Falls.
Band members:
- Chris Hope Laurent: Screams
- Matthieu Kirby: Clean vocals / guitar
- Nicolas Gadrat: Guitar
- Helio Mastrorelli: Bass
- Pierre-Jean Paoli: Drums
The band formed in 2010. Nicolas, Helio and Matthieu are still from the original line-up, Pierre-Jean joined in 2012 and Chris in late 2013.
They describe their sound as post-hardcore with breakdowns, sing-alongs, guitar solos and catchy choruses. Their influences are The Devil Wears Prada, Crown The Empire, Architects, Motionless in White, As I Lay Dying, Bring Me The Horizon, While She Sleeps and many more.
They get their lyric ideas from personal experiences, but they also talk about the world in general and the changing mentality nowadays.
2015 will be an exciting year for the band as they are currently working on wrapping up their first album and trying to get noticed by record labels. There’s also plans for extensive touring across Europe, so keep your eyes open for this band and check out their latest single ‘Defenseless’ here
You can listen to their EP ‘The Great Dive’ here
