From Montgomery, Alabama comes Evolett, a poppunk band that features the very cute Haden Brightwell on vocals. Now, if you’re a poppunk outfit and have a female vocalist, there are bound to be comparisons to Paramore. Shit, it’s already a genre that’s not exactly known for its originality to begin with so my laziness is not to be blamed this time around.
Produced by Terrible Things’ Andy Jackson and his former Hot Rod Circuit bandmate Mike Poorman, “For Your Consideration” sounds pretty good. Whether Evolett is going all out on songs like “Circles” or displaying a gentler, poppier side of themselves in “Genetic Makeup”, this is a band that knows what they are doing. Unfortunately there are also cuts like “The Portrait”, which sound like something even Evanescence wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole and as you work your way down the tracklisting, things do become a bit of a blur. I kinda have mixed feelings about this one… guess it all depends on their next move.
Score: 6 out of 10
