Radio Fallout - vox e tenebris

The third release by US indie rock band Radio Fallout and their first full-length album, "Vox e tenebris" is due out in September 2012 and it is certainly worth waiting for. "I want to be alright" is a good rollicking opener, you can probably detect elements of bands like Weezer or the Food Fighters but Radio Fallout are their own guys and this album has a lot of quality to it. The title track "Vox e tenebris" ups the noise quotient to great effect, guitar fuzz married to a high-octane tempo.

"Falling in" is a bit more toned back and shows off a definite pop sensibility amid the indie rock noise, its a very listenable track, quite retro and modern at the same time. "Hour of darkness" is a lot heavier, sinister beats moving into a razor sharp guitar attack, quite Nirvana-esque in many ways. What i like about Radio Fallout is that they arn't afraid to mash up the styles and tempos a bit, following on from the rock noise of "Hour..." is the lighter, almost mellow, "Summer Sun".

Overall its a great album with a number of really good songs and a good mix of them. Kinda old skool alternative rock sound bought up to date.
