Four Trips Ahead have successfully combined their trademark sound with a new, heavier production.
"The Memories" is the new EP from New York-based hard rockers Four Trips Ahead. Made up of vocalist Peter Wilson, guitarist Brian Eisenpresser, bassist Dan Cassidy and Nick Cipriano on drums, the band have successfully combined their trademark sound with a new, heavier production.
Reminiscent in some ways of the mid-paced rock bands of the 90's, there is plenty of energy, big vocals and meaty guitar riffs featured on "The Memories", but Four Trips Ahead's sound is rather dated with very little contemporary influence. Add to this a lack of any big finales or gimmicks and it all, sadly, becomes a bit forgettable.
I'm a massive fan of this type of music but hard as I tried, I couldn't see where a release such as this would fit in the current music scene. "The Memories" will be a great investment for fans of 90's hard rock, but unfortunately it may not quite hit the spot for the more fashionable music fans out there – it's their loss!
