Moving Brooklyn - Intervals

Moving Brooklyn - Intervals


Poised to break out with their debut EP, Moving Brooklyn have delivered something raw, biting, and unique on the scene of pop-punk. despite the name they are not actually from Brooklyn instead hailing from the small city of Milford instead. A small coastal city located on the shores of Connecticut. That small town vibe comes through. Songs dripping with angst and heartache that could only be created in suburbia.

While the band itself is relatively new, the members are mature veterans of the scene. It shows in the cohesiveness of the music. Not one beat, chord, or backing vocal sounds out of place. This is definitely the darker side of pop-punk. Deep powerful bass lines, scathing vocals delivered with the emotion of a poet scorned. This isn't an album about how cool partying and friends are. Comparisons can easily be drawn to the giants of the genre like New Found Glory.

This is an EP so it only contains a total of 6 songs, but it's enough to get you hooked. It starts off light the opening songs draws you in, as you go deeper into it the vocal delivery and supporting instrumentals just get better and better. Everything culminates in the darkest, deepest, most complex, most impressive song on the album. 'Good Thing I've Learned' is an impressive song. If you pick a song to start with I suggest starting there. I've literally had it on repeat for a good hour now while writing this.

Moving Brooklyn have certainly left their mark on music in a good way. This is the perfect way to start listening to them. EPs are a great way of giving you a taste of a band's style and getting you hook. Any fan of New Found Glory, Anberlin, or Taking Back Sunday, should really take a listen it's worth it.
