BLACK HOLLIES @ echo

theshys

The Shys have taken the crunchy guitars and heavy, fuzz-filled solos, and added more traditionally poppy group choruses and catchy melodies to come out with gritty rock that is immediately accessible. This record thrives on explosive dynamics. “The Hangman” opens with blazing guitars, only to drop them out completely two seconds later. “Savior” is defined by its pounding staccato drums and guitars, all before a rather melodic refrain of “I feel just like I found my savior.” Both tracks offer drastic musical breakdowns at key points, offering a powerful, calm-before-the-storm quality.The sing-along choruses of “She’s Already Gone” and “Mercy” echo Oasis, proving to be highly catchy, radio-ready rock, though the Shys stand as a grittier, gutsier version. – NPR
