However, despite later boasting the bite that their name suggests, this record opens slowly with a functionless instrumental that can be skipped without fear. Sadly, follow up track <i>\u2018New Worlds of Fear\u2019<\/i> is also a miss, despite upping the heaviness.<\/p>\n<p>The band are at their best when they sound like they\u2019re having fun, and thankfully, <i>\u2018Another Yesterday\u2019<\/i> kicks off the record properly. Its a catchy and fun-filled punk rock song that is perfectly weighted in terms of both melody and reckless abandonment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Follow up <i>\u2018Dead in Dreamland\u2019<\/i> is another hit. And one doused in a horror-rock sheen that really helps to bring out the band\u2019s creepier aesthetic. While Ramones hit <i>\u2018Pet Sematary\u2019<\/i> adds even more charisma to the collection. Stephen King would be proud of this horror cult-classic cover.<\/p>\n<p>Closer <i>\u2018They\u2019<\/i> adds variety to the record with it\u2019s emotional opening, lengthy runtime and extended instrumental section. This is a strong closing track, with frontman Josh Tankerley finally striking an emotive chord on a record short on truly tender moments.<\/p>\n<p>With only eight tracks, it feels as if we are yet to see the best from <b>Energy<\/b>. A strong mid-point shows that they are a band with great ideas, its just a shame that they took a while get here following a rough start. Despite that,<i>&lsquo;Apparition Sound&rsquo;<\/i> does have a nice flow to it. Songs melt into each other well, giving the album an overall feeling of cohesiveness. This is well worth your time if you\u2019re craving a retro-tinged melodic punk rock record that has occasional moments of sheer joy.<\/p>\n<p>3.5\/5<\/p>\n<p><i>\u2018Apparition Sound\u2019<\/i> by <b>Energy<\/b> is released on February 3rd on <b>Monster Party Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Energy<\/b> links: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thisenergy.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Website<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thebandenergy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/thisenergy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Joe Philpott (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/joe_philpott\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@joe_philpott<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Opening with a song titled \u2018Renascentia\u2019, Latin for rebirth, suggests that melodic punk rockers Energy are set on using new record \u2018Apparition Sound\u2019 as something of a reboot.
