I have to be honest I have never been a big fan
of The Audition especially after seeing them support
Alkaline Trio 3 times back in 2009 but since then
a lot has happened for The Audition such as leaving
Victory Records back in 2010 and working on their
latest EP ‘Chapter II’ which see’s
the band move on from their split from Victory Records
and open another chapter of their long running musical
career.
‘Chapter 2’ is one of the bravest
moves The Audition have ever made as they have
slightly changed their sound and proper toned
their production, and pretty much hand their filthy
hands all over the EP with full control and it
has really paid off as ‘Chapter 2’
has 6 really listenable songs and showcases The
Audition sounding better than they ever have.
The EP opens with ‘Who Do You Think You
Are’ which is a pure pop-punk song that
sounds as smooth and sexual as the music of Panic
At The Disco and All Time Low put into a blender
for a big arse crazy mix, it’s extremely
bouncy sounding with Danny Stevens giving his
best vocal performance to date.
‘You Make Me Sick’ see’s The
Audition knock out some great acoustic sounds
whilst Danny Stevens takes you on an infectious
ride with his melodic vocals which really shine
and stand out during the pop-tastic chorus which
is so big sounding that it would make a Giraffe
feel small.
‘Evil’ is about as evil as any of
your favourite Disney Pixar movies in the way
that it is very far from evil, instead in is yet
another slice of infectious material from The
Audition and another solid sounding song under
their belts.
The rest of the EP continues in a catchy way
but see’s The Audition verging on a more
rock based sound with soothing vocals running
throughout ‘Back And Forth’ and ‘You
Gotta Believe’ , whilst the EP closer ‘Talkin’
see’s the band fully rock out and close
the EP in style.
Considering that I have never been a major fan
of The Audition I feel they have done amazingly
well with ‘Chapter 2’, I am not sure
how it will go down with existing fans of the
band but I can see that this new chapter and fresh
start for The Audition will easily gain them a
whole new larger fan base.
4/5
