Faulty Cognitions - Somehow, Here We Are

 

Over to San Antonio Texas for an album that will wake you from your slumbers. There is a splendid urgency and pace at times from the quartet without ever getting aggressive nor losing the melody,  the songs are anthemic and built on big riffs.

There is no doubt that Somehow, Here We Are is noisier than what we normally cover, but it is focussed noise, incredibly catchy and although there are Punkier elements, it is certainly never shouty, more all together now fist shaking.

Indeed, people aware of Chris Mason's background will kinda know what to expect, although Faulty Cognitions seems that bit more melodic, like a rockier Indie Rock, often a Motorhead lite, but yet equally Mats, particularly songs like Let The Kids Have The Scene.

Center Of The Universe even gets to the edges of Pop Rock, only for the likes of Tired Of It and Las Cruces to rattle your teeth. However, Sun Sun Go Away opens the album with a killer Indie Alt Riff on a killer song. The band do not come up for air across all 12 songs, thankfully, allowing you shake your fist until your heart is content.

You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl and as a download.
