BRIGHT AND EARLY: GETTING THROUGH IT

[EDIT: Posted this a few days ago and have now deleted and added some links for you all!]
Bright And Early is a pop-punk five-piece from Philadelphia. The band is set to release their EP, “Bright And Early,” on the 18th. Planet Stereo managed to score listening rights to the EP over the weekend and we’re going to give you an exclusive review so you know what to expect from the four-track EP, “Getting Through It.”
The beginning of the EP starts off with “Stick By Me,” a melodic acoustic track, with solid vocals that convey an awesome amount of passion with every line.
In comparison, “Rule Of Three” is a bitter anthem with an upbeat rhythm, a complete paradox, if you will. With biting words of clarity and awareness, the song sinks into the ears skin and projects the energy with every note. The song, despite its tone, is clever and quick on its feet, keeping listeners on their toes.
“For What It’s Worth” is energetic, with a classic-feel behind the well-crafted lyrics, and sure to be a song that plays on numerous listening-devices on repeat. Though the track is pleading, it is a versatile track and could be considered a “break-up anthem,” a plea for understanding, or just the perfect song to keep you wide awake on those long drives. “For What It’s Worth” is definitely the most note-worthy track on the EP and a definite song to keep your ears open for.
“Selling Yourself Short” is bitter and questioning, but manages to avoid sucking the listener into a sad story; rather, the song is a fervent display of desperation with an buoyant tune to keep the vitality up.
The EP as a whole is fabulous, with passionate vocals and wonderful melodies. “Getting Through It” showcases Bright And Early’s musical talents in a subtle and creative way, with the band approaching the EP in a far less polished manner than many of their genre-mates. The EP is raw and undeniably potent, a quality many works seem to lack, be it due to the over-polished production of the industry or the false sincerity in each note. However, Bright And Early spark emotion and seem to play each note with a powerful sense of realness, making the EP personable. But before you turn your head and point up your nose, claiming you want “fun” music, the EP is catchy and a reminder of the initial purpose of a genre that seems to have lost its touch in the recent years.
Rawness delivered on “Getting Through It” is becoming increasingly difficult to find and is almost impossible to buy; thankfully, you can buy the EP on the 18th of this month. [EDIT: YOU CAN BUY IT RIGHT HERE!]
Bright And Early are also known for putting on an amazing live show, and you’re in luck, because they are currently on tour with Squid The Whale. Be sure to check the tour dates and go catch them live…after you download their EP, of course.
