\"\"It seems unfair to judge Daytrader<\/strong> before hearing them. You could be forgiven for expecting a lot from the band seeing as on paper, they have a heck of a lot of experience between them, seeing as they’ve all been in bands before and have travelled the roads and all that other band malarky in between.<\/p>\n

That said, EP ‘Last Days Of Rome’<\/em> didn’t help the case. The EP was so quite brilliant and certainly rose expectations as to what ‘Twelve Years’ would bring. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite bring what I expect. Like when the postman brings you a parcel and you hope it’s something, but it’s not as good as the thing you were hoping for.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tracks like ‘Struggle With Me’<\/em> and ‘Silver Graves’<\/em> do deliver a slice of what the EP had dished up for us, but otherwise ‘Twelve Years’<\/em> feels slightly lacking. There’s a mix of the upbeat (that being the previously mentioned) and some mid tempo tracks that still sizzle with this hard hitting feel, but these are washed down inbetween with perhaps a bit too many slower songs. The songs aren’t the best of slow songs\u00a0and they take away that taste of a more upbeat album that the EP did seem to suggest.<\/p>\n

Still, I do like this album! Yeah, I said it. I think it’s a grower and it’s still got a bit to grow on me, but it’s certianly not the best album in the world. There’s potential here, and boy do we know it on paper, but still; we shouldn’t judge them so early on. Despite their previous efforts in other bands they’re still a new band.<\/p>\n

‘Twelve Years’<\/em> does glimmer with potential in certain lights, but at this moment in time,\u00a0Daytrader<\/strong> aren’t as unique as we all hoped they would be. Give it time though. Give it time.<\/p>\n

3.5\/5<\/p>\n

‘Twelve Years’\u00a0<\/em> by Daytrader<\/strong> is out now via Rise Records<\/a>.<\/p>\n
