I
have been listening to High Pressure Flash this week, a four-person rock band
out of Sandy, Utah, and their album My
Sanctity. I have had two main thoughts.
One
is that they remind me of Torche. They aren't really sludge; most of the influences
they list are more along the lines of alternative and grunge, and that makes sense.
"Red" especially seems to show at least the Seattle influence for that
music. Still, there is that reminder of Torche, in terms of the force with
which the music is delivered. This is good listening and decidedly rock.
(I
also get a little flash of Archers of Loaf, but I'm pretty sure that one's not
logical.)
The
other thought that comes is specifically for another track, "Away From
Here", and it feels so familiar. At first I thought it might be a cover,
but I can't find any indication that it is. Somehow it just strikes a familiar
chord emotionally, that hits home and doesn't need time to grow on you. It is a
beautiful song, and one that resonated immediately. So, that's a pretty cool
trick.
