Cave States

True Life

2016-08-04

I didn't think this one was too bad. They have kind of Band Of Heathens feel to it, where it is a little more methodical. This is their first true Studio album so you can tell that they were getting used to the feel a little bit. Did a decent cover of Badfingers "Take It All." I would say they have a folk style with some hints of rock. I really think these guys could be awesome once they find the sound they are looking for. Pretty decent, really enjoyed tracks 3, 4, 5, 10, and 11 the most on the album with Track 4 being my favorite.
