My back is in knots thanks to hours in and out f sleep paralysis. Look it up, it’s a pretty weird, yet natural thing I deal with more often than not. Now as I sit on a musty subway hoping the theme aches ease up, I’m listening to some driven power pop. See Alabaster isn’t the next Lacuna Coil, but with their EP The Villain In Me, could be likened to bands like Paramore.
The hipsters of Hollywood & Vine have entered my comfort zone and I use the force of “Scream it Out” to drown out their Trader Joe’s chatter. As the few songs play on a loop, it’s easy to draw a comparison to Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway album. The rock is clean cut and the vocals are just as polished and poised. This rings true with “The Villain In Me.”
If I heard a song like “Pendulum” on one of those stations who plays “today’s hits, one day, I wouldn’t be surprised. Alabaster just needs to fall in the right hands and ears to get their sound out there. If you’re into artists like Avril Lavigne and Pitty, then get your paws on The Villain In Me.
