Having been around for over five years now, an existence that even included a visit to Australia, Daylight have finally released their first full length release after a string of EP releases. In that time the band have evolved away from an upbeat melodic hardcore sound to one of a more subdued atmospheric style ala Balance and Composure perhaps. On this album Daylight take a lot of cues from the grunge era of the 90s with influences like Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins shining through. Twelve tracks in total that are powerfully melodic and catchy with an instant likeability and appeal to them. Will help fill the void left by the departure of Basement for a lot of fans.
