Out Of My League - Oblivion



1. Slowdeath
2. Imminent
3. Foundations
4. Catalyst
5. Bloodshed
6. Oblivion


Out Of My League have released their second album titled "Oblivion." This album follows the same sound and style as their debut. These guys have a similar sound to that of a Sanction or even The Plot In You, so if you like those bands, you could like this album. The guys have done a really good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the band has made sure that it has a solid sound to it. The album has a sound that doesn't sound too produced, but doesn't sound amateur either. Good job. The instrumentation is nothing really that will perk an ear to what the are playing, but they an certainly play, and aren't trying to overplay. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are a mix between screamed and almost screeched vocals. They are however clear enough that you can tell just what the singer is singing about, which is definitely something needed in this genre.  Their vocalist can certainly sing. With the lyrics, the band has decided to go for messages of regretting something you've done, Relapsing on addictions, things falling apart, pain and more. We can really feel the way the singer is feeling here on this album. Hopefully getting all of this out will show others that there are people feeling the same. We hope the singer can feel some resolve getting all of this out. Solid job on the lyrics.If you are looking for a single to this album, give the first track "Slowdeath" your attention as it is the best song on the album and really gives you the best taste for the rest of the album. Out Of My League have made their second album very powerful with the lyrics they are singing. We can feel the pain here and hope this is a release. We think the whole album has been done well, and we can't wait to see whats next. The band toured across Canada with this album so we hope they turned heads. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Out Of My League - Resented



1. Resented
2. A Loaded Gun
3. Spineless
4. Blind
5. Black Sheep
6. Heart Of Hate
7. Recover


Out Of My League have released their debut album titled "Resented." This album has a very hardcore feel to it. The band has decided that they want a more brutal feel to their hardcore and it really brings the heaviness. These guys have a similar sound to a Stick To Your Guns or even The Plot In You, so if you like these bands, you will like this album. They have done a really good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded very well here and has a solid sound. The instrumentation on the album is what you would expect from a typical hardcore band. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals have a bit of a stressed scream feel to them, but he is still clear enough that you can get what he is singing about. Decent vocals overall. Now with the lyrics, the band goes for messages of being a coward, marked out and wishing you hadn't made the decision you did. Now their final song is about recovering from all of that. This is nice to have a switch song at the end while the rest seem to be all about the bad things and hopefully are therapeutic for the band. Everyone goes through hard times, you are not the only one, is an overall message for the listener on this album. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Blind" your attention as it really shows off the skills the band has ad well as their brutality. This song also happens to feature the singer of Falsifier. Out Of My League have made a debut album that is solid and really welcomes you to the band with a huge bang. We are quite impressed with this album and we can't wait to see what else is in store for this band. Now they just need to play all of Southern Ontario more. Great job. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
