These Suburban Dreams

Description

These Suburban Dreams is the bands first album after the release of three EPs and a huge range of singles. The album consists of ten tracks. Found Myself, Spent, Apocalypse, Therapy, Homesick, Around My Head, Open My Eyes, Suburban Dreams, Waking Dry and Forgetting About You.

The album dives through a range of tones and emotions through Poison Oaks staple indie rock sound, with a touch of punk that glues the LP together. It begins with the anthem rock sounds of Found Myself, moving through to the catchy indie tones of Apocalypse. There is Therapy, a throwback to the alternative tones of 90s rock.

Homesick, a more melodic ballad that lyrically drives to a dynamic climax. Around my Head, that captures the band more darker rock tones. Suburban Dreams, capturing the bands signature punk and rock sound. Then finishing with the more introspective sounds of Waking Dry and ending on the nostalgic acoustic ballad, Forgetting About You.

After five years of singles and Eps, These Suburban Dreams is the bands first consolidation of their signature sound. Capturing the lyrical narrative that this dream of the white picket fence, while living in the suburbia, isnt all that great.
