 For the Fairest is the debut album from Seattle USA based rock band Turn
to Fall, a band that was formed in 2005 and has been active in the local
concert circuit ever since.
Musically the band seems to be fond of playing highly melodic rock. With
some nice drumming as the foundation, strong and melodic bass lines and
melodic guitar patterns either in the shape of acoustic guitar or in the
shape of mellow melodic riffing underscores the vocals nicely as well as
providing the basic melody in the non-vocal parts; and at most times the
soundscape is overlaid with some nice melodic playing from the electric
guitar. The melodic playing is ever-present, and there's no lack of
harmonies here.
The music is slick and smooth here, no crunching guitar riffs or
screaming solo guitars; it' s all tones down to a smooth sound that is
easy on the ears and the brain; placing the music somewhere between rock
and hard rock in general style.
The main musical influence would seem to be Manic Street Preachers in my
opinion. The strong bass lines and harmonic guitar-playing makes the
music enter some Iron Maiden influenced territories at times; and some
of the riff patterns evokes Rush-like associations from time to time. But
the overall sound is very much in the mold of Manic Street Preachers.
The songs here are nice; songs that you'll hum along to most of the
times. The really great songs have yet to be written by this band; but
if melodic rock with some explorations towards complex musical
soundscapes is to your liking than this release should be worth checking
out.
