Oceans Ate Alaska // To Catch A Flame

Before I get into this, I must say I feel as if there are an unusual amount of bands with Alaska in their name.
Either way, OAA who are currently in the studio writing their first full-length are a band that should most definitely be watched in the near future. To start, this band has SO much talent. I mean like CRAZY amounts. Much like TAIB who I wrote about, they have great instrumental skill and it is shown throughout their songs. The breakdowns through their songs are stunning, and the drums sound unbelievable. I know I’ve talked them up a lot, but I haven’t even got to the vocals yet!

I don’t even know where to get started with the vocals. James Harrison, who does both cleans and screams, has a giant range, and should be put up there with the best of the best in this scene. His cleans could put a baby to sleep, while his screams and growls are brutal yet comprehensible. I can't put into words how talented he is, hopefully all of you agree with me!

I’m thoroughly looking forward to what they come up with, as everything they’ve released so far has been on point. They also recently signed to the Artery Foundation, which signals they could be coming to the States in the near future!
