If you check out Fatally
Yours (an alternative/rock band from Baltimore) now, links are going to point to their most
recent song, "Another You".
That's logical, because
it is new. It also gives you one impression of the band that could be limiting.
"Another You"
is angry and growling, perhaps bitter. That doesn't make it a bad song, but as
you listen more the band has songs with different moods that are really
beautiful. That is especially true of "Exit Sign" and "Every
Moment". It kind of doesn't sound like the same group.
That's an unfair
impression too. "Horror Fashion" comes from the same time period and
demonstrates some similar aggression and energy. There is a harshness to the
chords on "Calling Out" that doesn't undermine the melody but is
still noticeable.
It is possible that the
band is moving in a harder direction, making "Another You" a signal
of what is to come.
It could also just be a
reminder that there is more than one song to any band. You don't know until you
listen, and until you explore a little more.
If you do that, Fatally
Yours is pretty good.
