INFO
They've only been together for a year and a half, but the Burlington, Vermont band Romans is moving fast. Their debut album is only 23 minutes long, and they cram a lot into those 12 songs.
When All Those Wrists kicked off, I was afraid it was going to be another generic metalcore CD. There are some of those elements, but fortunately Romans is much more than that. In addition to standard metalcore, they also have songs that are heavy and sludgy, and even a track or two that's spacey and progressive.
Romans has all the pieces in place. They are a really new band, and All Those Wrists has bursts of good songwriting and originality. They just need to focus more on the things that make them different from the average metalcore band, and write songs that are a little catchier and more memorable. They are off to a good start, and I look forward to hearing them progress.
