Alkaline Trio - I Found Away [Single]
 

I’ve always been a fan of Alkaline Trio’s music, as they always seem to produce good pop-punk music. ‘I Found Away’ is another Alkaline Trio classic in my eyes, as it is just as good as other Alkaline Trio songs such as ‘Mercy Me’, ‘Time To Waste’ and ‘Private Eye’.

The intro has a very Coheed and Cambria feel about it, but it soon grows out of that and bursts into a flurry of pop-punk! The likes of which you would most associate with bands such as Blink 182 and +44. The disco style drumbeat in the chorus adds that extra bit of class to the song. I love it when bands you don’t associate keyboards and synthesizers with put them to good use in one or two of their songs. Alkaline Trio haven’t set out to make it a dominant instrument in the song, but add it subtly in the chorus and at the end of the song. I think without the synthesizer in the song, ‘I Found Away’ would fall into the dangerous category of an ‘OK song’.

Alkaline Trio are well known for their catchy chorus, and this song doesn’t disappoint. The melody just rolls off the tongue! The vocal harmonies throughout ‘I Found Away’ are top notch, and again add to the song tremendously. More bands should take influence from this and use the singers they have in their band correctly, I hear so many bands missing that vital harmony!

‘I Found Away’ will be on my playlist for weeks, and I’ll be telling everyone to buy it! So if you love good, solid pop-punk, then I would definitely advise you to buy this single.
