Founded in January 2013, the post-hardcore band from Washington just started working on their career but it already sounds pretty promising. Jacob Krueger (vocalist), Tristen Guillam (drummer), Angel Garcia (vocalist), Caleb Oakes (bassist) and Billy Howard (guitarist) released their first EP (Obsessed) on January 9th 2013. There are nine tracks, including a cover of Taylor Swift's We Are Never Getting Back Together. I wasn't able to check out the lyrics so this time I only focus on what I hear.
After listening to the whole record once, I can definitely say that I dig it. A lot. The voices of the vocalists go together very well and there's not a single song I'd want to skip. However, I have to admit that I miss a slower song in between just to take a breathe and because I'd like to know how it would sound.
All the songs contain some pretty nice guitar parts, for example at the beginning of The Truth, which is my favourite song on the record by the way.
The cover of We Are Never Getting Back Together is brilliant. It starts so innocent and basically like the original and suddenly he starts to scream and you just don't expect it. Who thought that this song could be material to mosh with hundreds of other people? I definitely didn't.
Not even 24 hours passed since I listened to Like Vultures for the first time but they're already in the top 3 of my favourite New Discoveries. Jacob said they'll try to tour here in Europe somewhen next year and I just really hope that's going to happen.
Go check them out, show some love and let me know what you think of them!
