Frequency Front

chloe's honey - frequency front

     

Erring from the modern-day trend of watered down lyrics and music that yields mellow-emo-indiepop- punk quasi-lullabies, chloe’s honey brings on a full-fledged institution of noisy riffs, noisy drums, noisy lyrics with a twist of 90s grunge rock n’ roll. You will be moved and you will remember the past those milky years ten years back-when you had more hair, more sex and perhaps a more personal attachment to the music you listened to. chloe’s honey’s debut album, frequency front, is filled with everything that used to make you want to find your way to the mosh pit. Yes, I said it...the mosh pit. Vocalist Joel De La Garza’s in-your-face lyrics and scratchy part-song, part-scream voice infuses each track with a poetic and emotional justice he must have worked hard to obtain. And yet, I must mention that one of my very favorite moments in this album is Jim Shields’ guitar intro on track three, “Deceiver.” It’s nice- the kind of nice that made you want to learn to play the guitar. Reminiscent of Pearl Jam’s debut album, Ten, Austin-born chloe’s honey has brought forth a challenge- an album full of thought, words, and layers upon layers of music that moves on its own, independent of what others are doing. frequency front speaks up and lets out a fresh face we haven’t seen in ages. The band is raw, young and will most likely grow into something completely different as time passes. I’d catch their wave now and ride it until it meets the next one. -slipstreammagazine.com
