Why I like it:
I discovered this band at an Airbnb of all places. I think someone was renting out their private space, while they were away, and I got to get glimpse into the the personal life of someone living in the big city of Vancouver. Right away I saw ticket stubs and punk posters throughout the apartment space and was interested in what shows they were checking out. One band that caught my attention was RVIVR. It was a ticket stub with another band, which I think was Propagandhi, and I decided to check it out on the internet. From there I was hooked.
Right away what caught my attention in The Beauty Between was the infections guitar hooks and lyrics. I will speak to the music first. The lead singers Erica and Matt are an amazing duo and keep the songs interesting and dynamic. The songs also have high punk energy and style fantastic guitar hooks.
The message in this album is so inspirational and encouraging. The main thing felt was encouragement to be my true and authentic self. It's so uplifting in that way that I caught myself crying happy tears from the empowerment (I never do that as a fyi). It's hard to explain the experience but if you ever felt like you aren't being yourself, for whatever reason, give this a listen. I think you will come out of it with a new hope :)
I started this blog as a result of deciding to throw myself and thoughts out there in the world. It's a bit scary but also exciting to do something I am truly passionate about and doing it for me. I hope that someone reading this can also find that passion and use in a way that makes them happy and fulfilled!
Highlighted song and lyrics:
Wrong way/One way- "I touch the ground/Send my roots deep down"
