We Are The Ocean is comprised of a bunch of young wolves UK who are doing a pretty solid job on “Cutting Our Teeth”. With some nice riffage, a dual vocal attack (which works pretty well for these guys) and an overall fairly standard post-hardcore meets screamo sound, they aren’t doing anything new. But they are pretty good at writing songs that are easy enough on the ears. Alexisonfire is a name that comes to mind more than once, especially during the parts with clean vocals.
One of the only downsides to an otherwise enjoyable album is “All Of This Has To End”, a song of which the intro seems to be lifted straight off of a Staind album. Which also happens to be another band plagued by ‘nobody likes me’-style lyrics, a flaw that can be found all over “Cutting Our Teeth” as well.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
