During a time of which horror was hyped up various bands
sprawled upon the music scene with their horror misfit ways from The Misfits to
Wednesday 13, Calabrese, Michael Graves, Mad Sin, Blitzkid, Voodoo Glow Skulls,
Order of the Fly, The Creepshow, the list was endless it seemed but Church For
Sinner's was just another one of those bands added on who had their time to
shine touring, writing and recording material for several releases. But
everything came to a end a short while later causing the members to go their
own ways including frontman vocalist Andy Wylie who has now formed a solo
project called City Bear.
A name he says he wanted to use so he would write solo
material without needing to use his real name on everything so using this substitute
would be better suited. With that he went on to of course write and record
material leading him to release a debut full-length with 11-tracks that
combines the likes of indie, rock, pop, folk, blues, and even some country to
be called "Mournography". While listening in to such tracks as
"Get Worse Soon", "Save Me", Homeward Bound and Gagged",
"Something Wicked", and "Til We Meet Again", all brought to
mind a sort of artists like Gavin DeGraw meets Gary Jules using both of their
traits and musical rhythms to create something unique yet entangles between
them.
The instrumentals are mellow driven with dramatic effect
that keeps a soothing source of music running from start to finish of each
song, while the lyrical context is very heartfelt and passionate at times if
you will. In short the two together works well bringing a drama mellow vibe
with upbeat passions crossing over every now and again.
City Bear's debut is a solid piece of work that combines a
variety of genres with various style focus that really makes the listening
experience enjoyable and fun!
