Activist Signals – “Feel Free To Revise EP”
Activist Signals – “Feel Free To Revise EP” - The production isn’t perfect, the vocals get drowned out by the instrumentals at times and vice versa. In a sea of imitators and clone bands, Activist Signals actually has an original sound both in their song writing and the production of the album. They’re on an interesting label called WeNevaStop who is dedicated to the idea that music should be free and all the releases on the label are free for download (www.wenevastop.com ) .
“Feel Free To Revise” doesn’t have a lot of filler on this CD, but I can also see their dedication to instrumental versus growing old rather quickly. Activist Signals doesn’t seem to get to the point quickly, but they eventually get there say what they want to say. The songs themselves tend to run a little long I think because of the love affair with their instruments and for some reason the intro song is an instrumental track. I can’t understand why they would put that as the intro track, but what the fuck it’s their record. Activist Signals seems to be more comfortable at writing the mid tempo melodic instrumentals more than the lyrics to the songs. I can’t knock “Feel Free To Revise” too much, it’s a great no BS, no gimmicks melodic punk CD. With a little more exposure and experience to song writing, Activist Signals has the musical talent to make a great record in the future. 3/5
