3. Barter And Fireworks

Amity Beach have released their debut album which just happens to be self titled. This album really shows off the indie, sort of beach feel that the band has established here and lets you get a taste of the band. The album has a similar sound to that of a Tokyo Police Club or a Hollerado, so  if you like those bands, you could really like these guys. They have done an alright job on their debut album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded pretty well and the instrumentation has just a little  bit extra on it so that it pushes it just above average. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are quite similar to Tokyo Police Club, so that is good. They are nice and clear as well. With the lyrics, they could of used a little more to just push that story and make it more relatable to the listener. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song or listen to the whole thing as it is only three songs, and you will get the feel for the band. Amity Beach have done a pretty good job on their debut, welcome to album. This album has a lite, airy, indie beach feel to it and it really does work. We do however hope that the band gets out there more so that they can create a little buzz about themselves. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
