The Okay-pop trade continues to churn out new generations of bands, which is refreshing in a world market the place rock music isn’t usually on the forefront. THE SSYNDROME are most notable by way of affiliation. They’re the primary act since Dreamcatcher to come back from Dreamcatcher Firm. Their ‘double S’ identify additionally means that you should make a hissing sound when saying it out loud, which is sort of enjoyable I suppose.
In some ways, Dreamcatcher have been mainly a band with out the devices, so it’s attention-grabbing to see what a full band can do beneath the identical administration. Pre-release Alive showcases the fellows’ skills however struggles to carve out a singular identification. In different phrases, Alive may have been recorded by any of THE SSYNDROME’s friends to comparable impact. The group makes use of the ‘a number of vocalists’ format employed by most fashionable idol bands and you’ll hear the expertise in these voices even when no particular person tone captured my consideration. The identical could possibly be mentioned in regards to the tune itself. It’s stable sing-along rock however lacks the sort of killer hook or idea that sparks curiosity. I hope their full debut finds some approach to stick out inside this ever-increasing market as a result of they clearly have potential.
