With the hot single “The Ides” (check out the “Far Too Loud” mix) out on Monday 29th, it seems only fitting to post about Subsource‘s new album “Tales from the Doombox” which is out on April 5th (both on Doombox Records).
It’s a little difficult to explain their music sound other than LOUD. It’s a mix of rock/punky guitars, rap, dark beats and dubstep-like vibes. I guess a mix of Hadouken!, Prodigy with a hint of Foreign Beggars, but that’s not to suggest they’ve not got their own sound, because they have. And it is the fact that each track is in your face all the way through the album that appeals to me.
There seems to be a lot of anger in the way they perform that I’m sure will appeal to many a young person. But it’s that hard hitting energy that keeps on you on the edge of your seat enjoying the audio ride.
There’s some excellent stand out tracks on the album “Some People” and “Parasite” being my favourites.
Bottom line if you enjoy music that is on the edge of a number of genres, perhaps like the rocky angles of Pendulum, the grunge of Prodigy then you’ll love this album. If you want some trance, house or garage then stay away!
