(review) Chronic Reflux – ‘EP’

Chronic Reflux are hailing from Florida and this is their new EP containing 6 songs. ‘I’m Tired’, – instrumental showcase of band’s tight musicianship with nice guitar solos and weird melody that stays in your ear. ‘The Runner and The Chaser’ is a melodic punk rock song with catchy guitar melody and impressive lyrics about burning bridges between something you chase and something you are, at least I understood it that way. Vocals are great, clean and very articulate and all song brings kind melancholy, especially guitar solo, making it one of my personal favorites on this record. ‘The Well Adjusted Cannot Be Trusted’ is mid tempo punk rock song that sounds more aggressive and angry, especially in the vocal lines, bordering between angry screaming, clean singing and sad, I love how song turns into fast hardcore punk in the end. ‘Feels The Same’ continues in angry direction with stop and go, weird and eerie melody and also theme about repetition and boredom. ‘There Is No Future’ takes us back into more pop punk and emo influenced waters and gentle melody haunts you while listening to the song. ‘Kissing Me’ is a garage demo version but still continues in that lovely pop punk direction and I am eager to wait for full length one day, or more EP’s.
