Fairweather – Alaska – Review

Fairweather

Alaska (Equal Vision)
by Tim Den

Fairweather‘s better than most emo punk bands – as are most of Equal Vision’s recent signings – and Alaska proves it yet again. Though only an EP, it showcases the band’s growing fascination with effects pedals and technical arpeggios. Put together by sonic wizard J. Robbins, Alaska is thick and driving, even if the singer loses his aim some of the time.
