Solutions - Before The Roars

Rating: 6

An anthem-toting punk trio from South Wales, Solutions release their debut at a time when the region has no real dominating sound. A good thing, in that most bands – Solutions included – are neither following or explicitly shunning fashion, and just following their own path. ‘Before The Roars’ touches on Gainesville punk and bassy post-hardcore: many tracks sit in the realm of that neckbearded, granite-throated post-Hot Water Music thing, while exhibiting a jerky lyrical cadence of the sort At The Drive-In hit paydirt with. They could maybe jag a few of their smoother edges, but this indicates Solutions might have real quality in them.
