The first thing I noticed, it\u2019s got to be the beautiful erotic album cover artwork! It certainly doesn\u2019t reveal the band\u2019s fearsome sound and rocky punch, but relates to the songs beautiful lyrics and the overall essence of the album.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The record begins with <em>\u2018Cuba\u2019<\/em>, which stars heavy rock riffs with a quickening pace. The song has awesome vocals with powerful screams. <em>\u2018Cuba\u2019<\/em> is a heavy, powerful electrifying hit that certainly packs a rocky blow. This follows with <em>\u2018Reparation\u2019<\/em> another fast-pace track, with more amazing vocals and a fantastic melody. The chorus is an emotional influential masterpiece that will get you singing along. Whilst listening to the tracks, its obvious Bad Sign are a talented bunch that has a true love and passion for creating music. The songs are catchy, powerful, with incredible instrumentals and fresh raw vocals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">One unique track is <em>\u2018If Ignorance Is Bliss&hellip;\u2019<\/em> with its playful melodic guitar, slow-pace and a wonderfully moving chorus. It\u2019s different to the rest of the album; it\u2019s sweetly dreamy and harmonious. This follows with <em>\u2018Drones\u2019<\/em> which has the same captivating quality, with a deep base and heavy rock style. The melody is quick and powerful which then breaks down into this mesmerising emotional chorus that sweetly tugs on your heart strings. The track then closes with a heavy instrumental and one last smashing scream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The favourite track is <em>\u2018Vicissitude I\u2019<\/em> a stunning acoustic track, simply tender and soulful. The song is absolutely beautiful, with soft sweet vocals and poetic guitar riffs. The entire track is breathtaking, pouring with sorrow that takes you on a whirlwind of emotions. The lyrics are powerfully delicate, \u2018you and me, we come and go just like we did before&hellip; take back the words that I gave to you that night\u2019. The album also stars <em>\u2018Vicissitude II\u2019<\/em>, a heavy rock version of the beautiful acoustic number.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The other smashing hit is <em>\u2018Urgence\u2019<\/em> for its diverse range of melodies and dramatic instrumental take downs. The song weaves between this heavy fast-paced powerful rock styles, to a slow melodic emotional piece. It\u2019s certainly exceptional and completely enchanting; you will soon find yourself screaming along to the catchy prevailing chorus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>\u2018De L\u2019amour\u2019<\/em> is an outstanding innovative record, full of creativity and passion. The variety and diversity of the whole album is exceptional, and the main reason why you\u2019ll fall in love with it so much. Every track is wonderfully unique, delving from heavy rock to sweet soft acoustic. <strong>Bad Sign<\/strong> are wickedly talented, and have produced a five-star album that deserves to be flying off the shelves in record shops. It\u2019s simple, this band are going to be BIG.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">5\/5<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>\u2018De L\u2019amour\u2019 by<\/em><strong> Bad Sign<\/strong> is available now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>Bad Sign\u00a0<\/strong>links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BadSignBand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BadSignBand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Words by Chantelle Kelly (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChantelleKelly3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@ChantelleKelly3<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Sign are a small-time rock band hailing from Croydon.
