I know Tribute To Nothing now for a good year, I once stumbled somewhere on the net about them. Were then found to be good, a couple of times is one. Oh, was quite nice. But no more than that. "At that time."
On Friday I was able to examine in Dortmund FZW these nice gentlemen for the first time as support for Hot Water Music on stage and the joy of music and the pure energy came the one as opposed were hard to miss much to ignore for. The Power, put the Britons these nice the day was stunning. And because something clicked.
From sympathy then also ordered the current longplayer, was yesterday in my mailbox. Joyfully opened the package, took the silver disc of the envelope. Studied the booklet and artwork and found more than "good".
Granted:
Comparisons with Postcore stretching as Hot Water Music, The Draft, Smallbrownbike and the rest of them are well to deal hardly due Turners voice. For the genre of aforementioned heroes has been simply too much occupied, because no way around it. But that does not mean that that's what delivered here would not somehow autonomous let alone uncreative or plagiarized. Damn it, if you will be compared with bands like these, you can still always a whole shovel confidence more put on's cross and start to float, despite a fear of heights at the highest altitudes.
But when Samuel Turner "And this world is turning, Whether you're ready or not." or "Live how you want to live. And breathe how you want to breathe" sings, then considered not long. Then you are at his mercy and unconditionally believes him easy, like it or not. And who is to sit still during grandiose "Day in, day out" has either two broken legs or should be seriously concerned about his psyche.
Tribute To Nothing are with "Breathe How You Want To Breathe" something like the good buddy with raspy voice and Whiskey fetish. The big brother who takes you by the hand and explains the world, with all its rough edges. The dispensed with arrogance and throws enough affirmation of life in the fight. The turning up the heating in the autumn and the foliage outside wegkehrt.
Breathe how you want to breathe, Whether you're ready or not.
Live your heart and never follow.
Oh no, those were the others.
Buy, hear, see good. And best watch live.
A thousand stars for this record.
