“The Working Horse” is already Parachutes’ third album, yet it’s only the first one I got my hands on. Apparently these guys have already built quite the reputation in Germany but they’re still somewhat struggling with the rest of Europe. Maybe the third time really is the charm?
I don’t know what their previous albums sounded like but if the songs on “The Working Horse” are anything to go by, I’d say their chances are looking pretty good. Switching seamlessly between punkrock, post-hardcore and screamo, Parachutes recorded a very energetic album that easily matches that of American counterparts such as From Autumn To Ashes and Alesana. They’ve got the hooks, they’ve got the aggression and they’ve got a solid vocalist who easily matches the rest of the band’s skills as they rage through eleven songs. They’re not the best in the genre but I’m guessing that if they were born Stateside, they would’ve already been a lot bigger than they are right now.
Score: 7 out of 10
