Audrye Sessions is a relatively new band which started when vocalist Ryan Karazija met bassist Alicia Marie Campbell. They then hooked up with guitarist Michael Knox who answered the ‘seeking a guitarist’ ad on Craigslist by announcing he didn’t owe a guitar. You wouldn’t say though from listening to this 4-song EP which is the precursor to the full-length which will come out early next year.
Comparisons to U2 and Radiohead and Coldplay and other UK bands are a must when you’re talking about this bunch who like to start out slow before letting a song go BOOM! in the chorus with guitar licks that sound like early U2 or even horns (“When You’ll Find Me”). Never been a big fan of Radiohead myself but if they were any good, they’d probably write a song like “Awake”. Last one on here is “New Year’s Day” which is kind of depressing but still very well written by a band who has a way of coming up with solid melodic structures that fans of the abovementioned bands are sure to swoon over.
Score: 7 out of 10
