Silver Story – Frantic

• 18th May 2009

Silver Story’s debut EP endears from the off with the pop punk of “Frantic”, a bit of relationship rock straight out of a late ‘90s American teen flick. It’s terrific fun, and aptly titled as it moves along at a relentless pace, throwing in a sassy little guitar solo. Definitely something for the approaching summer months.

Then things get moodier and slower. “My Empire” starts off timid and melancholy before breaking out into a big rockin’ chorus all breakup angst and bitterness; “I am broken” is the refrain that sums up the vibe better than I can. “Papa Bear” shares this dynamic, and both boast big emotional hooks and reflective lyrics that show a maturity blissfully absent in the first track.
