‘Reliable\u2019 is the first word that springs to kind to sum up Freeze the Atlantic\u2019s<\/b> back catalogue. Humble, unassuming, and always pleasant, they\u2019ve developed a catchy brand of accessible alt rock that recalls Rival Schools, Jimmy Eat World and a number of other turn-of-the-century emo torchbearers.<\/p>\n

However, for all their likeability, it\u2019s difficult to feel inspired by LTA<\/b>’s third album, \u2018The People Are Revolting.<\/i> It\u2019s a continuation of the rousing pop rock the band have perfected since 2012\u2019s \u2018Speakeasy\u2019<\/i> stripped to the bare essentials of hook-writing in rock songs, which becomes too predictable to remain engaging across its eleven track stay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, their songwriting is still in good form – we\u2019re dealing with a band comprising former Hundred Reasons and Reuben members after all. Opener \u2018Annotate My Fate\u2019<\/i> shows off the urgency and large-scale hooks they can easily pack into any song. This energy also brings flashes of life to tracks like \u2018Crackerjack\u2019<\/i> and The Floor is Made of Lava<\/i>, with it\u2019s corkscrew guitar outro providing one of the album\u2019s highlights.<\/p>\n

But while the energy is present physically, it\u2019s difficult to find any creative energy in \u2018The People Are Revolting.\u2019<\/i> Freeze the Atlantic\u2019s<\/b> stripped-to-basics approach feels lacking when placed in today\u2019s expansive musical landscape, where the odd and unpredictable reigns supreme. It\u2019s a good record if one is simply seeking a reliable rock record rather than anything more daring, but this won\u2019t be starting any revolutions any time soon.<\/p>\n

3\/5<\/p>\n

‘The People Are Revolting’<\/i> by Freeze the Atlantic<\/b> is released on 14th April on Alcopop! Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
