About ‘Make Like a Tree’ singer Brad Smith shares –

“The lyrics in this song play on a joke made by Biff Tannen in ‘Back To The Future,’ but the EP as a whole delves into themes of struggles with mental health, suicide, temptation, depression, and loss.”

Hailing from Norwich, Prey Drive stands as a dynamic and compelling force in the alternative rock scene. This four-piece powerhouse, known for their intricate melodies and emotionally charged performances, has garnered a devoted following with their captivating soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics.

Weathered are relatively new in Facedown Records family, this is their first full length out on that label. I listened and reviewed it for this zine.

I must admit that I haven˙t listen to this band prior to laying my paws upon this record. They released three ep-s prior to releasing this new full length. This record contains ten songs of beautiful emo hardcore mixed with altrock and indie influences. What immediately fell to my ear is that the vocalist of this band kinda reminds me on Michale Graves with his voice on some songs. Maybe it is only me, who knows, but I swear I heard it. The songs are smart and well structured and they are not boring, quite the contrary the album flows nicely and I really had a great time listening to this record. My personal favorite song on this record is There Is One, but listen to the record and judge for yourself which songs are yours favorites. Lyrically, this band covers heavy themes through well written personal lyrics. This is a must record for all the fans of more melodic side od emo post hardcore.
