Coldfront - Is This Where They Found You?



1. Molly Blooms
2. Reduced
3. Shed Light
4. Up
5. Lifted


Coldfront have released their third album titled "Is This Where They Found You?" This album is a small taste of how the band wants to progress and move in their career. They have the main components of their previous work and still have a conldfront sound, while putting a bit more of a pro feel to it. This band has a similar sound to that of Seaway or Like Pacific, so if you like those bands, you could like this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album could of used a little bit more production and polish in a couple areas, but all in all it sound pretty good. The instrumentation is nothing that is really going to make you turn your head, but they do know how to play. They have a nice solid playing ability here. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are pretty decent. He can certainly sing, but more in a raspy punk style than a clear voice. His voice may not appeal to everyone, but he does well for the style the band is going for. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about girls/relationships and vices. These are the more typical subjects for pop punk bands to sing about, but they do an alright job on it.There is nothing too ground breaking with the lyrics, they just do a pretty good job at repackaging the same topics as many other pop punk bands. Not too bad though. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Molly Blooms" your attention as it is the best song on the album and really gives you an idea of how the rest of the album sounds. Coldfront's label debut EP is one that shows the band does have potential but also will need a little work to make themselves stand out in the global pop punk scene. Not bad all in all. Now the band just needs to actually get out there and play shows. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Coldfront - Some Things Never Change



1. Borrowed Time
2. Scratching The Surface
3. After You


Coldfront have released their second EP titled "Some Things Never Change." This album continues the style and sound that the band created with their first EP. These guys still follow the new wave of Pop Punk music and on this album, they have seemed to up the game a bit. They have done a pretty good job on these three songs. Looking at the recording quality of this album, the album  has been recorded fairly decently and the instrumentation on this album is pretty solid here as well. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are on par with their previous album, maybe even a bit better, while the lyrical content of the songs has been raised as well which is what you want to see. If you are looking for a single for this album, give the song "Scratching The Surface" your attention, as it is the best of the three songs, but maybe just listen to the whole thing as it is only three songs, then you will know the album. Coldfront are heading in the right direction, and it is nice to see a band just doing what they like while making good music. A nice effort has been put into these three songs and we can't wait to see what the band comes up with next. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Coldfront - Coldfront



1. Untitled
2. Waiting
3. Still
4. Withdrawal


Coldfront have released their debut self titled album. This album is a sort of welcome to Coldfront as it shows off the band doing their style of the new pop punk that is becoming really popular right now. This album sounds pretty good. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band have done a pretty good job with it and they seem to be able to play in the style of the new pop punk so that is going to work for them. The band is also a bit more skilled than the average band in this kind of music. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are pretty good and the singer can sing well along with some pretty skillful lyrics.If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen so you know what it sounds like. Coldfront have something pretty good going on with this album and hopefully with some progression, and plugging away they can make something out of this. Listen to this album so you can decide for yourself what you think of it. Make sure you get on this band sooner than later.
