(record review) NATHAN GRAY/JESSE BARNETT-Split e.p.(End Hits Records)

845104

Time for another heartfelt and heartwarming piece of music as two frontmen of their respectable bands team up for their solo split e.p.

Nathan Gray(BoySetsFire) and Jesse Barnett(Stick To Your Guns) released a split e.p. with End Hits Records. The e.p. features six songs, three each. Jesse Barnett´s side is stripped down acoustic heartfelt melodic emotional travel to Amsterdam, ode to love with Hang Your Love(my favorite on Jesse´s part of the e.p.) and musical yearning of Stay With Me.

Nathan Gray´s side is made of three songs recorded with Pete Steinkopf(The Bouncing Souls). For me his side is a bit better, because I am a great fan of his solo work and his songs.  Enough, Find me and Brighter are just masterpieces as I drown in darkness, light, beauty, melody and sorrow listening to Nathan´s voice accompanied by smart and orchestral song structures. Love it! Nice e.p. by two superb singers and frontmen from today´s hardcore punk scene.
