Submerse Demo
Submerse are a small four piece band from the wonderful city that is Oxford.
Taking into account that this CD was made a while back on a £20 budget, it is
a damn good CD! This CD has gotten them many gigs and although they have since
progressed into a more Hardcore band, this is still a quality CD with good
tracks. Track 1, ‘I really like your mum’ is obvious in what the lyrics are
about, and has a fast tempo with rhythmic drumming, and comical vocals in a
very Punk style by the singer here. The song title makes it sound like it could
be another Blink182 copycat band but the actual tune does not reflect this.
Track 2, ‘Harold in Wonderland’ has the same kind of style guitar riff as the
first song, keeping with the fast tempo drumming, but this song seems more
Hardcore than the first song with faster, more hard hitting vocals. The third
song, ‘Who are you?’ changes slightly with the Guitar and drumming as they seem
to go a bit slower. To me, this track sounds kind of like track 1, but with a
less catchy beat and it really doesn’t do it for me. I am not dismissing this
song though, because the lyrics are still comical. Track 4, ‘strip club’ again
has quite fast drumming, but the vocals don’t seem to come through too well
which is probably due to the £20 budget! The fifth song, ‘M.B.W.I.T.O.Y’ really
stands out on this CD as the drumming comes through very well to accompany the
guitar nicely. The vocals come through awesomely on this song and the whole tune
just comes out well making it a stunning track.
Although this CD was made on a very low budget, most of the tracks still seem
to come through quite well making it an ace Punk CD.
