Overall, this record did not let me down. It is truly amazing how much the band grew and wrote between these two releases. Should this single have been on the full length, it would have definitely have been the black sheep of the album. This song can still be called heavy in some regards, while ‘Blind Love’ is straight up melodic and full of ambience. However, with recording in January for ‘Blind Love’ and this single coming out late last year, the difference is very very noticeable with the styles. This song did not make it on the album, but it has the style one would expect from a post hardcore band, granted with no screaming. We mentioned earlier when signing to Victory Records, Awaken I Am did release a single called ‘Slumber’. Awaken I Am is a 5-piece Progressive Rock/Post-Hardcore band from Australias beautiful Gold Coast and Brisbane. The opening track ‘Walk My Way’ is a great example of the coexistence of these styles together. The eighth track ‘Hindsight’ which is honestly a pop track on it’s own shows off this vocal style pretty well. It really does sound like The Weeknd is fronting a heavier act, with the heavy term used loosely. ‘Blind Love’ has those styles coexisting together as one. This concept is not a new thing with bands such as Issues and Palisades blending it, but they do just that, blend the styles. If there is anything unique about this record is the coexistence of pop/RnB with harder music. The Australian post hardcore band got inked with Victory Records last December, which seems like an eternity ago! Awaken I Am dropped the single ‘Slumber’ after signing and then recorded ‘Blind Love’ earlier this year with Taylor Larson who is known for his work with I See Stars and From First To Last. ![]() The track includes a never-before-heard bridge, which didn’t make the cut for the original song. For us here, one of those bands (Thousand Below review is coming soon), is Awaken I Am. Lauv released a new video and stripped version of i’m so tired. Awaken I Am have a sound, but it is unclear whether they have mastered it or not. It also has both levels of maturity and raw potential in all of its songs. Awaken I Am - Indifference (Official Audio Stream) Victory Records. The effort is wonderfully produced and engineered, and sounds fantastic. It takes a special kind of band to get so much hype on their first release, even more so a band outside of the USA. In conclusion, Awaken I Am have crafted a great debut album with Shields & Crowns.
