Traditions is a rock band from Westfield, Massachusetts.
They list one of their influences as Taking Back
Sunday. I can hear that, though I would say that the guitars have a harder
edge.
The emotional sentiment actually reminds me of a
slightly earlier era of emo, like the late '90s era (when the word was being
used differently). A lot of those bands weren't very skilled musically.
Traditions works better on a professional level while still retaining the
emotion.
Current videos only include the sound tracks,
but this is a relatively young band, with time to create more content.
They are worth checking out, certainly for fans
of Taking Back Sunday, but I think also for fans of Christie Front Drive, and other earnest
music, where it feels like everything depends on being understood.
