Ah, it’s Tuesday! And you know what that means, right? New music! But, with the multitude of new music being thrown your way, deciding what album to pick up becomes that much more difficult. To make your life easier, here’s a suggestion—go buy VersaEmerge’s new album, Fixed At Zero.
At first glance, the Florida-based female-fronted alt-rock trio is likely to elicit comparisons to their Twilight-bolstered labelmates Paramore. Admittedly, they do have a few things in common. Yes, they’re both on the infamous Fueled by Ramen label, have a petite leading lady with powerhouse vocals and cute, emo-looking boys as back-up. However, it ends right there.
Just one listen to their full-length debut, Fixed At Zero, will make you scoff at even the idea of comparing the two bands (no strike against Paramore, because I love them, too). With grand orchestration, experimental twists, and pristine production, Fixed at Zero takes a unique and engaging approach to the usual alternative & punk that you’re used to. Lead singer Sierra Kusterbeck’s vocals are outstanding, with a controlled range that is way beyond her years. Her sweet yet fierce voice is nicely complemented by Black Harnage’s intricate and driving guitar work. From the enigmatically peering kick-off “Figure It Out” right down to the haunting and intense closer “Lost Tree,” Fixed At Zero is a mysterious pop odyssey that will you have intrigued and keep you going back for more.
Stream Fixed At Zero in its entirety on the band’s Mypace page.
