Review by Alexis Dobbs

Band Apart's self-titled album is a must-listen for fans of alternative rock and indie pop. The band's unique sound is characterized by a blend of catchy guitar riffs, driving percussion, and emotive vocals that range from soft and introspective to raw and powerful.

The album's opener, "Another Day," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its infectious melody and relatable lyrics about the monotony of daily life. Other standout tracks include "I Don't Want to See You Anymore," which showcases the band's talent for crafting anthemic choruses, and "Not My Place," a poignant ballad that explores the complexities of relationships.

Throughout the album, Band Apart displays a keen sense of dynamics, effortlessly transitioning from quiet introspection to explosive climaxes. The band's musicianship is also top-notch, with each member contributing to the overall sound in a meaningful way.

Every track I've heard from these guys is excellent. Why not reissue their mini-album or ep's Crammed Discs?

I have this album now - it's FANTASTIC! - and I'm noting that it duplicates the bizarrely abrupt ending of this track mid-phrase as can be found in this video. This surely can't have been deliberate? Is the only surviving original version damaged or clipped or something?
