Buckle yourself in before you start listening to the latest release from Falsely Accused. The Boston trio's latest EP, Unbroken, is a collection of five songs that are going to give you some serious 90's flashbacks without being throwbacks. The EP opens with "A Drink Before the War," which we compared to "... a less metal version of bands like Helmet and Quicksand." From there we go into "Castaway," which is just a straight up rock song. It's a heavy version of mid-tempo that reminds me of when grunge started to loosen its hold on the mainstream but the heaviness was still there. That seems to be the theme of the songs on Unbroken. It imagines a world where as grunge faded out, instead of being replaced by bubblegrunge a style as equally smooth as bubblegrunge but as heavy as grunge moved in. Falsely Accused are a rare brand of Boston band that seem to be doing their own thing without sounding like anyone else in town.
Matt Tavano (bass, lead vocals) says of his band's new EP:
“It’s been three years since our last record and to say we’re excited to get our new music out into the world would be an understatement. We worked hard to create a record with new ideas, new sounds and concepts, not just rehashing the same sound from [debut album] Compression. As we evolve, so must the music.”
You can listen to Unbroken below. The EP is out now digitally. For more on Falsely Accused, check out the band on Facebook and Instagram. If you're in the area, they'll be a release show at the excellent Thirsty First in Lowell with Derek Smith and the Cosmic Vultures and Adios Fatso.
