Psycle - Surfaces EP Review
Psycle – Surfaces EP
Well I couldn’t have picked a better band for a first review, Psycle is a 4-piece rock band based out of Providence, RI. Psycle was formed in January of 1999. Playing venues all over New England to New York City and even Canada, Psycle continued to bring their energy and sound to each performance. Each member of the Psycle family has left a lasting impression on each song and made this band what it is today.
Psycle knocked it out of the park with their EP, Surfaces. They have that amazing mid 90’s sound, kinda reminded me of Live but with a little hint of Pearl Jam and a modern Daughtry twist. The album are work is simply but still catches the eye.Each song on the EP is a little different but with the cohesive Psycle sound. The first song the really jumped out at me off Surfaces was the last track, Break, that exotic sounding intro just drew me in right away, and the song only gets better. A nice heavy chugging guitar, tom drum beat and a BIG chorus. The Road I’m On is a song I swear I’ve heard on the radio, and if not then it really should be. This track is a pure rock track that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. All 4 tracks on this EP define Psycle perfect, Rock.
One thing that really stood out on Surfaces was the production quality, all the tracks were balanced almost perfectly and you can actually hear the bass without searching for it. Chris Piquette at No Boundaries Studios did an amazing job of capturing the raw talent of Psycle. Speaking of talent, the musicians in Psycle are the real deal. The lyrics in the songs aren’t generic, which is really nice to hear, and Seth delivers them perfectly. Joe has a way of finding the right notes for those solos, and it’s nice to hear a guitarist that doesn’t over play. Mike has one of the best bass tones I’ve heard and it’s nice to hear actual bass lines in these songs. And last but not least, Jay knows his stuff behind the kit, his beats and fills fit perfect in every song.
