I really
enjoyed Smoke or Fire’s ‘Above This City’ and ‘This Sinking Ship’ and with Justin
“Gwomper” Burdick of Avail playing bass on this record I should really fall in
love with ‘The Speakeasy’. It took me a few listens to really start enjoying this
album. I’m not sure why though as it has everything that I could want from
Smoke or Fire. Catchy melodies, sing along choruses and punk rock energy. I
think I was being a little to harsh as I had high expectations. This is an all-round
good record, though if you’re new to Smoke or Fire this probably isn’t the best
place to start.
Ryan Parrish from Darkest Hour also plays drums on this
record.
