Throughout their career, they\u2019ve become specialist in creating complex narratives. Whether that\u2019s on the introspective storytelling of 2011\u2019s\u00a0<em>\u2018Wildlife\u2019<\/em>\u00a0or the deeply demanding\u00a0<em>\u2018Panorama\u2019<\/em> six years ago. Now the Grand Rapids, Michigan band has returned with <em>\u2018No One Was Driving The Car\u2019. <\/em>It\u2019s a record that is considerably their most conceptually ambitious. Framed as a five-act film, vocalist Jordan Dreyer used the 2017 American psychological thriller,\u00a0<em>\u2018First Reformed\u2019,<\/em> as inspiration, along with a 2021 story of a fatal crash involving a self-driving Tesla car. It results in an engulfing, cinematic record that peels itself with each listen.<\/p>\n<p>The opening of Act I,\u00a0<em>\u2018I Shaved My Head\u2019,\u00a0<\/em>sees an anguished Dreyer build the intensity alongside Adam Vass\u2019 fuzzy bass. As the rest of the band, guitarists Chad Morgan-Sterenberg and Corey Stroffolin and drummer Brad Vander Lugt, join them, the band\u2019s assured, emotive post-hardcore is in full flow. Conceptually, it introduces us to our central character, a desperate individual who wants to be unrecognisable.\u00a0<em>\u2018Man with Hands and Ankles Bound\u2019<\/em>\u00a0rushes thanks to Morgan-Sterenberg and Stroffolin\u2019s sharp exchanges. Lyrically, Dreyer\u2019s words are voyeuristic yet are juxtaposed by societal judgment and vulnerability. Our character\u2019s dissent continues on\u00a0<em>\u2018Autofiction Detail\u2019<\/em>\u00a0as wiry guitars lend themselves to the despair that is unfolding. Dreyer abandons the spoken-sung style here in favour of refined singing.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/review-la-dispute-no-one-was-driving-the-car\/\">Read the full review here.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"ggta\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-100104\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath-800x450.webp\" alt=\"George Gadd + The Aftermath\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath-800x450.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/George-Gadd-The-Aftermath.webp 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>George Gadd + The Aftermath &#8211; Too Many Ghosts<\/h2>\n<p>For Nottingham-based singer-songwriter\u00a0<strong>George Gadd<\/strong>, the journey to releasing this debut album has been a long time coming. For example, <em>\u2018Not Human\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Shake A Ghost&#8217;<\/em> have previously been released when\u00a0<strong>Gadd<\/strong> was a solo artist. However, he now has\u00a0<strong>The Aftermath<\/strong> joining him. Consisting of Ciaran Grant (guitar, synthesizer, keys and vocals), Dan Hess (bass guitar), and Xakarus James (drums), the trio add warmth and texture to\u00a0<strong>Gadd<\/strong>&#8216;s words of personal growth and reflection on\u00a0<em>&#8216;Too Many Ghosts&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Its nine tracks stretch from Springsteen\/Gaslight Anthem-esque Americana rock (<em>&#8216;Sycamore&#8217;<\/em>), stirring emo, akin to The Get Up Kids (<em>&#8216;The Optimist&#8217;<\/em>), and indie punk (<em>&#8216;Invisible&#8217;<\/em>). Yet while\u00a0<strong>GG+TA<\/strong> wear their influences with pride,\u00a0<strong>Gadd<\/strong>&#8216;s songwriting is consistently earnest. The bookended tracks of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Square One&#8217; <\/em> and <em>&#8216;Leo&#8217;<\/em> see <strong>Gadd<\/strong>&#8216;s cathartic words put to the forefront with their mournful tone. Meanwhile, <em>&#8216;Little Bird&#8217;<\/em>s tender tone is complemented by Grant&#8217;s hazy keys and guest saxophonist Wil Schade.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusions <em>\u2018Not Human\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018Shake A Ghost&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>are appreciated, coming off as reinvigorated with a vibrant, full-band, musical spine. The former flourishes with a rich, prosperous coat that radiates through <strong>Gadd<\/strong>&#8216;s candid words. <em>\u2018Shake A Ghost&#8217;\u00a0<\/em>has been a longtime live favourite, and it&#8217;s easy to see why. Given a punchy, full-band treatment, it retains its charm through the earworm <em>&#8220;waoh oh oh oh&#8221;<\/em> refrain.<\/p>\n<p>By breathing new life into older cuts and pairing them with vulnerable and sincere songwriting,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Too Many Ghosts&#8217;<\/em> is a rewarding listen.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"stillinlove\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-100105\" src=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Still-in-Love-800x495.webp\" alt=\"Still in Love promotional photo cropped\" width=\"800\" height=\"495\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Still-in-Love-800x495.webp 800w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Still-in-Love-300x186.webp 300w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Still-in-Love-768x475.webp 768w, https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Still-in-Love.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Still In Love &#8211; Recovery Language<\/h2>\n<p>Made up of members of <strong>Dead Swan<\/strong>s, <strong>Throats<\/strong>, <strong>Brutality Will Prevail,<\/strong> <strong>Last Witness<\/strong> and <strong>Bring Me The Horizon<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Still In Love<\/strong> is a tantalising proposition for anyone who has had an interest in UK metalcore and hardcore over the last 15 &#8211; 20 years. After testing the waters with a couple of EP&#8217;s, the Brighton-based outfit shows their true intentions with debut album, <em>&#8216;Recovery Language&#8217;<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Its eight tracks are unabashedly raw, ripping through with hunger and an insatiable metallic crush. The quintet&#8217;s energy is relentless, allowing the opening pairing of &#8216;<em>Tell The Truth&#8217;<\/em> and\u00a0<em>&#8216;Nervous Impulse&#8217;<\/em> to pounce through with pulsating hardcore groove.\u00a0\u00a0<em>&#8216;Preserve &amp; Cherish&#8217;<\/em> utilises <strong>Architects<\/strong>&#8216; Sam Carter for a cameo to bring the themes of personal struggle, resilience, and emotional catharsis to the forefront. As\u00a0vocalist Nick Worthington and Carter scream\u00a0<em>&#8220;I can\u2019t stop now&#8221;<\/em>, crescendoing guitars build to a hefty and riveting conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Away from the pulverising prevalence of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Feathered Nest&#8217;<\/em> and the crunching slam of\u00a0<em>&#8216;Inherit,<\/em> Worthington&#8217;s anguished vocals on &#8216;<em>The State Of Things To Come&#8217;<\/em> address the ongoing genocide in Gaza. It allows their lyrical scope to be widened, yet retains the frustration that fuels the record. Andrew Fisher of <strong>Basement<\/strong> pops in on\u00a0<em>&#8216;You Have To Let It Go &#8216;<\/em> as\u00a0<strong>Still In Love<\/strong> lean towards a melodic direction without sacrificing their hardcore ferociousness.<\/p>\n<p>The tension that builds throughout erupts on <em>&#8216;Pillar Of Strength&#8217;<\/em>. Here, Worthington roars with pent-up aggression: <em>&#8220;Don\u2019t give me hope, I don\u2019t want to face another day,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>before ringing guitars lend a momentarily sense of comfort. Yet Marc Richards&#8217; frantic drum work, along with Mark Ringrose and Curtis Ward&#8217;s cascading and sludgy guitars, brings a sense of finality to proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>With the personnel involved, it&#8217;s no surprise that the sonic denseness on show is executed with precision. A thorough 23-minute onslaught that&#8217;s paired with welcomed introspective depth.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"list\">What is out on #NewMusicFriday?<\/h2>\n<p>La Dispute &#8211; No One Was Driving The Car<br \/>\nSlipknot &#8211; Slipknot (25th Anniversary)<br \/>\ngrandson &#8211; INERTIA<br \/>\nThe Story So Far &#8211; I Want To Disappear In The USA<br \/>\nFleshwater &#8211; 2000: In Search of the Endless Sky<br \/>\nblessthefall &#8211; Gallows<br \/>\nBelmont &#8211; Last To Love<br \/>\nVianova &#8211; Hit It!<br \/>\nGeorge Gadd + The Aftermath &#8211; Too Many Ghosts<br \/>\nCarsick &#8211; Tough Luck<br \/>\ncheerbleederz &#8211; (prove me wrong)<br \/>\nWinona Fighter &#8211; My Apologies To The Chef (Deluxe Edition)<br \/>\nTen56. &#8211; IO<br \/>\nBodyweb &#8211; Dead Wire<br \/>\nStill In Love &#8211; Recovery Language<br \/>\nPeace of Mind &#8211; Blood Is The Price<br \/>\nVarious \/ Run For Cover &#8211; I Will Swim to You: A Tribute to Jason Molina<br \/>\nFime &#8211; Just Can&#8217;t Win<br \/>\nBeauty School Dropout &#8211; Where Did All the Butterflies Go?<br \/>\nBlack Satellite &#8211; Aftermath<br \/>\nPrimal Fear &#8211; Domination<br \/>\nTeen Creeps &#8211; Today Is The Day<br \/>\nRome Is Burning &#8211; Rome Is Burning<br \/>\nTallah &#8211; Primeval: Obsession \/\/ Detachment<br \/>\nLawn Chair &#8211; YOU WANT IT!
