From the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the lush lands of the Emerald Isle come Drown Again whose new album, Emerge, is said to consist of “ten heartfelt songs full of genuine passion” with award-winning producer and vocalist Rob Mancini also at the helm, alongside Frank Blair on guitars, Erik Lundquist on bass, and Jason Blessing on drums.
Comparisons are being made to Theory Of A Deadman, Googoo Dolls, Daughtry and Lifehouse with its hardcore underpinnings, lush orchestrations, and driving melodies.
With a strong background in classic rock, Mancini has gained a reputation as a modern rock producer that understands how to mould the sonic elements of a track into a commercially viable song and Emerge is said to be “be full of beautiful melodies and strong grooves, with soaring vocal harmonies and thought-provoking lyrics”.
Tracks featured are: ‘The Saving’, ‘Cage Of My Own Skin’, ‘Measure Of Man’, ‘Drown Again’, ‘Sister Mysterious’, ‘Letter From A Father’, ‘This Life’, ‘Pride Before The Fall’, ‘The Raven’ and ‘End Begin Again’.
The band’s sound has evolved into a cross-genre album showcasing their song writing flexibility and musicianship. Drown Again has created a sound within the alternative rock genre via their mix of heavy riffs, cutting-edge production and tight harmonies. Their musical attitude has been in steady progression since its foundation in early 2021.
Drown Again has a European tour planned for April 2023 When asked about their success, band members said, “Setting the bar high during a time where the music industry has changed so drastically, we find ourselves at a point in space that allows us to continue doing what we love most, sharing music.
“Emerge is a collection of tracks that will stick with you long after the first listen, thanks to the melodic lines’ ferocity and the intense emotion infused into every note.”
They recently released ‘Drown Again’ as single, and you can check out the video for previous single ‘Measure Of Man’ right here at RAMzine.
