Higher Power from Leeds, UK are starting to be more and more important wheel in the machine of rising UK hardcore scene, with their new album being out with Roadrunner. The album offers eleven songs. The music of Higher Power can be categorized as modern hardcore with lots of groove and metalic moshing parts, but from all that brutality the music quickly transforms into gentle and melodic clean sung chorus, with charismatic vocalist J Town having such perfect beautiful voice. I don˙t know, sometimes the music of Higher Power reminds me of more melodic version of Snapcase, band that I listened to a lot when I was a kid, and still listen to. Sometimes they dare to tap into almost indie and post hardcore influences in parts of the songs, making them more interesting listening for me. This is great modern hardcore. Personal favorites: Seamless, Low Season, Staring At The Sun.
