Eleventyseven - And the Land of Fake Believe
|
If you like punk-type bands with catchy tunes and thoughtful lyrics, you'll like Eleventyseven's first release. The trio from South Carolina have a clear message to the youth of this world: Just be real. Whether they're critiquing the MySpace fad or declaring the need for something better than a revolution, Eleventyseven has a unique voice and a great sound. |
The lyrics are amazing and really make you think. Lines such as "teach me how to kneel when I don't know how to feel" stick in your head like glue and are good words to pray. The band took a stand and declared that they would only write positive lyrics simply because they were tired of seeing so many negative bands in the world. That alone impressed me enough to at least listen to their music. After that, I instantly became addicted.
The music includes many upbeat rhythms, melodic piano pieces and vocal harmonies that make it a delight to listen to. As far as I've seen, they are very active onstage as well, although I haven't seen them in concert, just videos of them.
For those of you who like bands like Hawk Nelson and Relient K, Eleventyseven is definitely a band worth checking out.
