Full Review: Streamline -Self Titled EP

Posted on September 22nd, 2007 by Tyler, under Full Reviews.

Hands down this is one of the best EP’s I’ve heard this year. This band can only go up from here and with this much talent it won’t be long before you can say, you knew about them first to your friends.

Streamline fits in the same genre with other bands like Train, John Mayer, Matchbox 20, and other similar artists. The band plays a soulful rock that floats on a melody so finely crafted that was clearly aimed at your ear.

“All I Need” jumps right into the song with a good taste of what you are in for with the rest of the songs. By the end of the song I was thinking that it was probably going to be my favorite. “Higher” is slower getting to the point but by the time the first chorus is over I had already changed this to my favorite song.

The guitar work on the album is impressive to say the least. Songs like “Flicker” and “Meaning of Life” show it off the best, although all the songs benefit from it. The EP is pretty well recorded and proves that releasing music as an independent band doesn’t mean your stuff can’t be high quality sounding.

Bands in this “mainstream” genre seem to be picked up by record labels and are on the radio before you get a chance to support their independent career. Here is your chance to get behind a band that deserves all the support they can get.
