| FeverSleep (ex-Dikembe, Young Livers, Lock And Key) release debut EP |
 Photo by Kevin O’Leary With the perfect mix of melody, aggression and energy, Portland, Oregon’s FeverSleep land somewhere between the worlds of punk and grunge – if genres are your thing. Fortunately, this is no rehash of a bygone era’s sound. These well-seasoned musicians pull from a diverse array of influences to create something that is both fresh and familiar; FeverSleep’s debut is a new venture for established musicians, who work from a blend of musical backgrounds, from power-pop, hardcore punk, emo and… one of the members plays in two death metal bands. These varied influences blend together to create a powerful, unique and impactful collection of songs. Consisting of former members of Young Livers, Dikembe and Lock And Key, FeverSleep’s debut self-titled EP is characterized by its ferocious thrum of overdriven bass, prowling riffs and soaring melodies rounded out with a touch of melancholy. Imagine a more melodic Helmet or a more aggressive Sonic Youth, buoyed throughout by a driving wall of noise and haunting choruses reminiscent of Dinosaur Jr. and Constantines. Finally, they throw in some DC/Dischord-influenced energy and vigor for good measure. The EP was written and recorded in guitarist Mike Vera’s own space—Brown Sound Studios. Thematically, the music and lyrics offer a glimpse into a year of maddening isolation, restless monotony and persistent anxiety. Listen to it here. The EP sees release via Thirty Something Records and Ashtray Monument Collective. |
