Album review by Marcus Dipollina
Popular music has had many evolutions over the years --from the beginning, popular music has always changed with the times. When talking about rock and roll or “rock music”, these evolutions are usually coupled to a scene or movement. These movements reflect the times that they were spawned in, but also the thoughts and feelings of the people within the movement. Today, the traditional image of a rock band, 4-5 people with guitars and loud amplifiers seems like ancient history. Like the Chevy small block V8 -- but like the small block Chevy, rock and roll has shown that even though its an old dog, it can still learn new tricks. That’s where our story begins... with one of the last big movements for the rock and roll band as we know it to be in our head: EMO.
