Greys have released their debut album titled "Ultra Sorta." This album shows the band in a very noisy indie punk style. These guys like to leave it loud and sloppy, throwing the noise right at you. Bands like Single Mothers and The Dirty Nil to an extent, have made a name for themselves playing music similar to this. So if you like those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty good job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a fairly decent quality. Although it is very raw and loud, this seems to be the way the band wanted it, and for this they have done a pretty good job. The instrumentation on the album is not bad, but it is nothing that is really going to blow you away. The band can certainly play, but it is nothing over the top, just good playing. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are a little rough and with an edge, but they fit the music well and you can hear the vocalist so that is good. He has what we would call a Refused style of singing punk, so that could help out more if you know the band. All in all not bad. With the lyrics, the band seems to go for messages about living life with meaning, life stories about people, society and more. These seem to be subjects that punk band touch on fairly often, so people who are into this style, could connect with them quite well.If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Greys have made a debut, welcome to album that really shows off the sound and style the bands is going for. They have made an album that goes with the new style of punk that is being put out recently. Hopefully the band can get out more and bring their brand of music to more people and garner more fans. Not a bad job over. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
