Music Mayhem Magazine July 2014 : ISSUE #5 | Page 46

Savage Eyes is the latest single from the upcoming debut album Shadows from Washington, DC locals The Relapse Symphony. The album is set for release July 8th via Standby Records. The video for the song was released on Stanby’s YouTube channel on June 9th. Preprder bundles are available on their MerchNow store. The song, in it’s entirety has very much of a new-school punk vibe. The rawness of the older punk sound with a current flavor if you will. Vocally I hear a similarity between frontman Bret Von Dehl and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins; I can’t pinpoint it, but that’s just what my mind automatically went to. The track is very catchy and easy to follow; it’s fairly short at just less than 3 minutes however it’s chock full of life and spunk! Reception from fans has been nothing short of positive, I wasn’t able to find a single negative comment about this new track! That’s extremely refreshing and encouraging! 2014 seems like its going to be a big year for many ‘smaller’ and ‘unknown’ artists!
