Camisado // I Am Alive Tonight

If you haven’t heard of Camisado, you soon will. Camisado, a Baltimore band, recently released their debut album after what seemed like a five-year hiatus from their initial EP, Pulse, which was popular at its released. While this band has been almost non-existent over the past few years, they’ve come back into the scene with their new album, Faceless. I’m literally in love with every song on this album, and can’t stop listening. The vocalist's wide range is great, and the songs are well constructed. It’s hard for me to pick out a certain song as my favorite, as every song on this album is a JAM and a half, but ‘I am Alive Tonight’ is a really good example of what you can expect to hear.



While each song on the album has a dark feel to it, emphasized by the album artwork, this one in particular stands out. After the breakdown around 1:00, the alternate vocals are sure to bring a strong pit to any of their shows. While the lyrics on this track may seem a bit repetitive, the drums and guitars around them balance it out.
Although I hope they continue to grow, I just worry they fall into the trap that many other bands fall into; their debut full-length is fantastic, and then the second, is rushed or there just isn’t as much effort put into it, which results in a poor record that doesn't live up to the hype (i.e. A Skylit Drive’s Adelphia). Anyway, if you like what you hear, head on over to facebook and give them a like!
