Weather // Whether - by Four Story Fall
Four Story Fall and Jeremy Abrams, from Seattle, Washington USA has a pop punk rock song called "Weather // Whether" that is a very well-done tune with a really nice touch. It veered the genre away from the abrasive feel of punk rock and gives a more sentimental feel with catchy melodies and sincere vocal tone.
Right away, I could hear the professionalism of an experienced guitar player with the steady picking, which the rhythm section picks up on flawlessly . The guitars have a nice low-gain tone and very often have lead melodies being played over the top of the rhythm guitars. The bass guitar has a nice steady tone that fits the genre. No fat low-end, but a blending tone that lays below the rhythm guitars. The vocals sound very clean, authentic, and hit every note spot-on.
This band has a very tight sound. The part of their sound that catches my attention the most is the layers of vocal harmony that are almost as high in the mix as the melody. This added to the pleasant tone of the singer, making the full sound hit the sentimental meaning. The lyrics below speak volumes.
I’m just going through the motions
Like we’re waiting for a sign
Still lying to myself but I know
We’re just wasting time
Promised things are getting better but
Better’s never fine
Now this unrelenting weather
Is all that’s left that’s mine
I recommend this song to anyone who enjoys a heart felt pop punk song that has a great sound and fantastic songwriting.
