Back to the list
The Attraction are made of fellows by the names of Eli (whose measured vocals evoke a violent smash-up of Pete Wentz and—yes—Dave Grohl), bassist Ben-ja, Danny on lead guitar, Brad (fiddling on the keys), and drummer Aaron. The result is an arrangement rife with a hard rock sound and words like open wounds give this album a feel something comparable to pointy claws and teeth on a kicked-around pup. Right from the off the album takes a fierce pace with “The Bleeding”—an aptly-titled song for what is a letting of emotion. The presence of energy is utterly vibrant from the jump and is perhaps one of The Attraction’s gifts to music; in particular, shocking back to life the flailing Emo-fish. While decidedly morose lyrically, it’s the nuances of a crying or angry guitar or delicate piano work that produces a confidant, if not, sprightly anti-despair sentiment. The earnest rapture of instrumental electricity at the album’s start is a perpetual marinating of chords and crescendos that won’t leave any listener wanting. Do anticipate great things from The Attraction—this reviewer does.
