SAVING JOSHUA “Forever Hold Your Peace”

SAVING JOSHUA
“Forever Hold Your Peace”
(Supernova)
It’s no secret that I find band names fascinating. Saving Joshua doesn’t really say anything about the music the band is playing. This could be the worst kind of emo possible. Or it could be the best kind of emo ever. Actually it’s neither. This is hardcore. Or is it metalcore? There are parts that indicate that this is a band trying to be cool with both camps. And contrary to popular belief I kinda like this album. Breaking up the compact hardcore-ness with more mellow parts gives this album an edge worth investigating. A positive new acquaintance that I will carry with me for some time. Anders Ekdahl
