New to the modern hard rock scene, Swear On Your
Life came from New York in 2005. Combining a Queen
and Rage Against The Machine sound, the band reminds
you of a group you’d see some fan of hard rock
listening to on a normal basis meaning, this band
fits right in with the mixes that you’d hear
on your local rock station.
Combining some pretty brutal riffs with melodic singing,
Swear On Your Life should really appeal to fans of
bands like Chevelle or God Smack with their EP release
“Burn My Crosses” it should really catch
your eye if you’re a hard rock lover.
Burn My Crosses starts out with the self-titled
song and holds strong really well. Each track has
something satisfying whether it’s Militia’s
growls or melodic vocals.
Another great thing about this EP is the variation.
Sometimes you see bands that have “every song
sounds the same syndrome” well not here! Each
track mixes up the mix if you get what I mean.
In the end, Burn My Crosses is a great pre-release.
The band has a lot to offer to a large crowd because
they’re original. So, fans of modern hard rock
add something new to your play list. I know I will
and I’m a kind of guy that likes mainly hardcore
and black metal bands but hey, got to have variety!
