Check out this glowing album review of Winter Heart, Summer Skin by Reunions! 

[part-time-pr-blog]

“This Chicago trio has been around since 2010, and this third album reflects the precision and maturity that comes from a decade of touring and two earlier full lengths. This is sturdy, abrasive modern rock that could appeal as easily to fans of Foo Fighters as Bad Religion, with dense, smoldering riffs and emphatic vocals. The band has worked with and has obviously been influenced by the likes of J. Robbins, Bob Mould, and Seaweed, and if you’re looking for something that’s not quite hardcore but still packs more of a punch than the “Rock” they play at the mall, you could do worse.”

“If one is of a certain age (i.e. getting older), there s something instantly recognizable about the sound of All Eyes West that is both comforting and exciting. Like Lightning has Jawbox, Drive Like Jehu, Seaweed, and even some Hüsker Dü influences crawling all over it, and there is nothing bad about that. All Eyes West previously worked with J Robbins, so that helps to explain some of the similarities, but while Robbins is not turning knobs on Like Lightning, his impact lingers across the breadth of the experimentalism heard on these works. It is fitting that the record has “As I Bleed” and “Bruised” as musical bookends, as the two tracks are both rugged and abrasive efforts driven by masses of focused rage that bring levels of intellectualism and meticulousness into the turbulence. “Too Alive” has an uneasy warmth about it, as the riffs from Jeff Dean are huge, the vocals of bassist Justin Miller are soaring, and the thunderous rolls provided by Ronnie DiCola are rattling; these components collide in a perfect stew of early indie force and sneaky harmonies. The bass throb that drives “Interference” and the ferocious “Death Wave” is matched by the slash and burn guitar playing on “Dream of a Nightmare”, as that song that moves with sinewy precision between inert power and brief ethereal pauses. It is obvious that All Eyes West could choose to simply hammer away at listeners if that was their wont, but instead, the guys clearly take great pride in their prowess to juggle varied, jarring time sequences and delightfully off-kilter song structures. All Eyes West play with a style that sounds like it is collapsing upon itself and the listener is trapped in the middle of this imploding racket, for “Chasing Light” is a bellicose anthem that elbows people out of the way at the bar, while “Holding on a Holdout” triumphantly manipulates an alternating loud and soft dynamic range into something that sounds wholly original. I am so angry that I am only hearing of this band now, but I love every aspect of All Eyes West.“

If you dig Leatherface, Hot Water Music, or Nothington I have a feeling that you’re going to like Reunions. Based out of San Francisco, the band blends elements of punk and 90′s emo that’s loud and full of energy. Check out the debut single “Light Left On”.
