Jar- Daylight

For a band that often gets lumped in with the so called “emo revival”, I don’t feel that Daylight gets the credit they deserve for the impact they’ve had on the scene. Mostly because they aren’t and emo band, rather the leaders in popularizing grunge among a new generation of listeners. Jar, Daylight’s most recent full length album, could easily pass as a Nirvana reunion album. Fat, distorted guitars pound out simple but effective riffs while accented by very minimal but tasteful lead work. However, the song quality isn’t as consistent as it could be and some songs fall short of the expectations set at the beginning of the album by “Sponge” and “Life in a Jar”. Fortunately, the majority of the album is fantastically written and is definitely worthy of multiple playthroughs. If you want some variety in your collection of emo/pop-punk/indie jams but don’t want to give up the depression, then this album is for you.
