1. These Nights

2. Timmins

3. 90210

4. Disbanded By Doubt

5. Set In Stone

6. 7 Days

Harbour have released their fourth EP titled "Dead In The Water." This album is a bit of a weird one as the band took so long to finish it and it was supposed to be a full length. What we got was six songs of pop punk music. This is also the bands indie label debut. They have a similar sound to that of early 2000's punk and pop punk combined, so if you were more of a 2000's punk person, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty decent level that gives these sounds a good sound. The instrumentation is pretty standard on this album. The band can certainly play and they do show off a little bit on the album, but for the most part it is pretty standard. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are pretty much the same as their previous album, if you have heard those before. Their vocalist can certainly sing and sing well, but they have pretty much stuck with the same things they have been doing all along. With the lyrics, the band has gone for songs about relationships for the most part. This is pretty typical for bands in this genre to sing about, as it is the easiest and lots of people at the age of this band can relate to this subject. Not bad all in all. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "7 Days" your attention, as it is the best song on the album and the one that gives you the best idea of how the album sounds. Harbour's fourth EP is one that unfortunately doesn't quite stand up to their previous album. They just don't have a song that is instantly catchy like "Grade School Summer" was. Although this is still a decent album, none of these songs are going to take over for that song or album. We also hope to see this band get out there and play more, and play shows in other towns where they are the support instead of the headliner. The band hasn't toured much since this album came out and we'd like to see that change. Decent job all in all. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

1. The End

2. Grade School Summer

3. Someone Like You

4. Couldn't Hack It

5. So Long

6. Untitled

7. Sorry, Not Sorry [Japanese Version]

Harbour decided that they wanted to go back in time with the pop punk all of us grew up with in high school, what a decision too, as they have made an album that is just what you've been looking for the past couple years. This album has a MXPX, Allister, Home Grown type of feel to it and its a great meld. With the recording of this album, they have done a really good job, every sing is crisp, clear and has that old school tone to it. The lyrics are really thought out and having them go back along with the sound is quite impressive. If you want a song to listen to, give "Grade School Summer" a listen as the song is so catchy and the lyrics are just something the really bring memories out in them, no matter who you are. Also added to this is the Japan only song "Sorry, Not Sorry" as its the only album this song is on. Harbor have really stepped it up with this album and are going to be the next band you are talking about, so get on this band now, find out what they are doing and go see them now.

Harbour - All My Exes Are Dead To Me

1. In Her Words
2. Everything Your Not
3. All My Exes Are Dead To Me
4. Better Days

Harbour have released their second album titled "All My Exes Are Dead To Me." With just the name of this album, it makes you think, hmm, are my exes really dead to me? and most of us will say yes. Now when you first put on this album, you notice the past paced punk that the band has written and how the lyrics are all about different situations with girls. When you compare this album to the previous one, you notice right off that the band has a different singer. The new singer really helps with the faster paced punk that they are trying to make and he does a good job on the album. Another thing about this album is the quality, it has be recorded very well and it has a decent sound as well, pus the band can certainly play here. The song to listen to on this album is the title track "All My Exes Are Dead To Me" as this song is the one that gets you going and brings the energy of the record the most. All in all, this is a really decent album and you need to keep track of what this band is doing, as this is really on the right track to go places. Look forward to their next effort.Listen to this album.

Harbour - Harbour EP

1. Half Right

2. Last Night I Got Ship Wrecked

3. I'm Not Mean, I'm Ruthless

Harbour has released their debut album "Harbour EP." This album shows a band that is trying to get into the new style of pop - punk with a singer who isn't. The band has a pretty solid sound and they seem to be able to play their instruments decently. Listening to the album, there is a feeling that the songs could use just a little bit better quality to raise the overall experience. The song "Last Night I Got Ship Wrecked" is the song to listen to on this album. It shows the band in a little bit of a different direction then the other songs, but they do it well. The other two songs on this album have a more standard pop - punk style in the singing, so you get that feel. This band just needs to find their direction, then they could find their identity and where they fit.Give this band a listen, they are pretty solid and could go somewhere.
