Above Them - Blueprint For A Better Time
Released September 28th 2009
West Yorkshire lads ‘Above Them,’ are back, and this time they are upping the ante with the release of their debut album ‘Blueprint for a Better Time.’ Recorded over a 10 day period, the album is due for release this September and is the follow up to their successful E.P ‘Put Your Heart Into This,’ which received rave reviews from the music media.
‘Blueprint For A Better Time,’ is one almighty crash of sounds. The furious guitar riffs and the pop punk stylings, mixed with a Yorkshire accent makes this album an extremely British affair – an album with a raw, cutting edge to rival the fresh faced, clean pop punk that makes it to the mainstream.
Listening through the album, it is easy to hear similarities to popular bands such as Fightstar and Biffy Clyro, which is something for this band to be proud of. Though they share similarities, the band still manage to boast a sound that is all their own. Monstrous and hungry for more, Above Them have mastered a solid first attempt. They show flare and guts for a relatively new band that are breaking out of the DIY music scene and into the more established.
