\"\"Hailing from Boston,\u00a0Massachusetts and with a sound that is\u00a0reminiscent\u00a0of early 2000’s Vagrant Records (The Get Up Kids, Saves The Day and The\u00a0Anniversary) and a mixture of male-female vocals, Save Ends<\/strong> bring a well-round, refreshing take on harmonious indie pop punk on ‘Strength Vs. Will.’<\/em><\/p>\n

From the start ‘Time and Tarnish’<\/em> sets the standard with subtly emo-driven guitars nicely complimenting the duo vocal play from Christine Atturio and Brendan Cahill, a trait that is thankfully consistent throughout especially on ‘Sweet Defeat.’<\/em><\/p>\n

&lt;a href=“http:\/\/saveends.bandcamp.com\/album\/strength-vs-will” data-mce-href=“http:\/\/saveends.bandcamp.com\/album\/strength-vs-will”&gt;Strength Vs. Will by Save Ends&lt;\/a&gt;<\/p>\n

Throughout ‘Strength Vs. Will’<\/em> the quintet provide comforting blasts of hook-filled emo pop punk that are well balanced and don’t lose momentum; the uplifting ‘Settling Here’ neatly gives way to the rich sounding ‘Resurrection Hub’<\/em> which also thrives off the layered duel vocal melodies.<\/p>\n

Although the slight Tigers Jaw comparison exists here and there, its the bands bright\u00a0choruses and overall clear, resonating sound that makes ‘Strength Vs. Will’<\/em> essential listen.<\/p>\n

It wouldn’t surprise me if this unsigned band are snapped up soon, as its clearly evident from ‘Strength Vs. Will’<\/em> that Save Ends are bound for bigger things.<\/p>\n

4.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘Strength Vs. Will’<\/em> by Save Ends<\/strong> is available as a pay-what-you-want download on Bandcamp.<\/p>\n
