It is A New Path for A Crime Called… but it is unclear what this new path is since the band doesn’t feel the for any kind of informative web. There is no information to find about the band, I hate bands that doesn’t have a website – it is a bit disrespectful to fans and those wanting to know about them. I found the members on some music streaming site or something like that, I have no idea if they are correct as the band’s own channels don’t confirm that. This may be their first album, or not, but it has a nice artwork.

It is a fresh sounding album with strong vocals and a very modern sound, alternative rock is probably the best description of what we get to hear. It is an album that offers good vocals, good variation, sensible playing time as well as depth and dynamics. An energetic release that sounds fresh and a bit less boring than much of what we get to hear these days. I also like that they don’t have that Italian touch that is often heard in Italian rockers, it gives them a sound that is more of their own.

Good album with strong sound and good songs, a fresh and modern release that should work really well. It is always enjoyable with releases that doesn’t just follow something else, this feels alternative and different – almost a little bit exciting. Sure, it may not break too much new ground, but they have a personal style and their album should appeal to many music fans – if they manage to find it. They seem to have a promotion agency that sends out the albums, but their own promotional work is pretty poor, and will probably make them less successful than they could have been.

All the songs are good, none of them really stand out but I like Drown and Pop Could Kill that I think is a little bit more noticeable than the other tracks. They have much going for them and the crime is certainly not their music or song writing. I think it is an album worth checking out, fun album.
