From Safety To Where – Irreversible Trend – Review

From Safety To Where

Irreversible Trend (Radical)
by Vinnie Apicella

From Safety To Where? Damned if I know. Confusion and clutter, without question. And as such, we attribute to them an “emo” tendency at the core, a “noise” core precursor that’s heightened with atmospheric melodrama and tricky guitar runs, parlaying interlocking sing/scream vocals and instrumental breaks that go to the edge and back, lavish to languid, and incessantly indie. FSTW is a little bit of everything in this “who isn’t?” rock’n’roll climate, yet still remain distinct with a breadline production to increase the bass-beating productivity and like-minded lyricism where the words are inescapable and succinct enough to browse, nod, move on, and enjoy the musical depth. Riding high on harmony and jagged guitar fills, such is easily the biggest draw here.
