There are times in
music when an electronic-based sound is nothing more than a misfit, and lacks
decent substance other than noise. However this is not the case for The Way
Back, an electronic rock band consisting of Alex Ellis and Jeff Kinney (former
member of Roanoke and The Brisbanes) as well as Daniel Cole and Paul Herman.
The band’s EP is only a taste of the potential
the full-length album will most likely hold when they begin 2013 in the studio.
The electronic rock band consisting of Alex Ellis and Jeff Kinney (former member of
Roanoke and The Brisbanes) as well as Daniel Cole and Paul Herman blends several genres giving an
authentically created feel including: hip hop, pop, rock and even hints of
experimental instrumental rhythms.
“Messages Get Lost”
carries a pop-rock pulse with detailed percussion guiding the lyrics through.
“Out of Control”
takes a more laid back ballad feel, bringing to mind a more mellow boy-band
less straining version of that seen in the unique vocal techniques of Linkin’
Park lead singer Chester Bennington.
In the song “How It
Has To Be” the band shines with the perfect batch of electronic beats and
smooth vocals that vibrate with an R&B/hip hop style that has the potential
to be a hit.
The Way Back has
already gotten its feet wet in the music business, previously playing with
well-known acts such as The Deftones and Everclear.
