UK’s We Are The Ocean follow up their 2010 debut with another full-length. It’s called “Go Now & Live” and it’ll be out later this month. While “Cutting Our Teeth” was already pretty solid, the new album sounds a lot more mature and playful. They’ve mastered the art of writing catchy and slick post-hardcore anthems that never stop rocking. Admittedly, they sound like Alexisonfire. A lot actually. But seeing as Alexisonfire is pretty badass, having another band like them and who are equally good, is not a bad thing at all.
Opener “Trouble Is Temporary, Time Is Tonic” is a really nice way to kick off an album and it promises a lot of good to come. We Are The Ocean has no problem living up to the expectation as they run through tracks like “What It Feels Like”, “Runaway” and “Godspeed”.
These guys have really grown a lot in a year and it shows on “Go Now & Live”, one of the better post-hardcore releases I’ve heard in the last couple of months.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
