Dropping Daylight – Take A Photograph

Dropping Daylight‘s debut EP, Take A Photograph, is so jammed full of high energy, aggressive rock and roll tunes that you know, if they play their cards right, they will become the next house hold rock and roll band name. With the right opening slots and the right support, they will easily break into the mainstream with their easily accessible commercial rock that is entertaining enough to make you listen to it over and over again rather then throw it away after one spin.

Although it is a short-lived EP, only four songs clocking it at around twelve minutes total, they use every second to their advantage. Sebastian Davin leads the way with a solid piano backbone and powerful vocals hitting a wide range of notes. The only downside is that at times, he can’t quite reach those high notes (particularly in certain parts of Lucy) – if he comes to accept that and sticks with the lower, stronger notes, then the band will really shine. Because the truth is, he can sing – and he can sing well. One listen of Save Yourself and you will be convinced of that. On top of the piano driven songs, you get a wide range of solid, heavy riffs. Then, out of nowhere comes the explosive choruses and interlaced vocals. It all adds up together to make a strong, heavy, dark EP packed with a punch.

Really, there’s not much wrong about this EP. It is solid, without any fillers and engaging enough to keep you entertained no matter how often you play it. Dropping Daylight could be compared to almost any rock band today, a perfect example would be Three Days Grace with the addition of a piano. The only reason it gets a two and a half is that it is a commercial rock album and although its not that bad, its just not my preferred genre.
