Our Take

Do you ever feel like you're stranded on a deserted island with nothing but your thoughts and a killer soundtrack? Well, that's exactly the vibe you'll get from WARS' latest album, We Are Islands. After All.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to a world where indie rock meets post-hardcore in the most glorious collision of sound and emotion. The opening track, "I Have a Way," sets the tone perfectly with its hauntingly beautiful melodies and raw, emotional lyrics.

As the album progresses, you're taken on a journey through the highs and lows of life, love, and everything in between. Tracks like "The Art of Not Knowing" and "In a Mirror, Dimly" showcase WARS' ability to blend cathartic screams with catchy hooks, creating a musical experience that is as exhilarating as it is introspective.

But it's not all doom and gloom on We Are Islands. After All. Songs like "Hailing Distance" and "Only Monsters" inject a dose of optimism and hope into the mix, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.

In conclusion, WARS have truly outdone themselves with We Are Islands. After All. It's a masterclass in genre-bending music that will have you hitting repeat on your Spotify playlist for weeks to come. So grab your headphones, sit back, and let WARS whisk you away to your own musical island paradise.

About the artist

Wars

WARS are a Cardiff-based alt-rock outfit that have been making waves in the UK music scene with their infectious blend of heavy riffs, anthemic hooks, and emotionally charged lyrics. Fronted by charismatic vocalist Rob Vicars, the band burst onto the scene with their debut EP "And So The Sea Will Claim Us All" in 2015, earning rave reviews for their tight musicianship and intense live performances. Since then, they have released a string of critically acclaimed singles and EPs, establishing themselves as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the UK. With influences ranging from post-hardcore to shoegaze to pop-punk, WARS have a sound that is as eclectic as it is powerful. Their songs are packed with soaring melodies, crushing breakdowns, and raw, confessional lyrics that speak to the universal struggles of love, loss, and self-discovery. But what really sets WARS apart is their infectious energy and electric stage presence. Whether they're playing in a sweaty club or a massive festival stage, the band's live shows are a force to be reckoned with, with Vicars leading the charge with his fierce vocals and magnetic stage presence. In a music scene saturated with mediocrity, WARS are a breath of fresh air - a band that is unafraid to wear their hearts on their sleeves and push the boundaries of what rock music can be. With a rapidly growing fanbase and a reputation for delivering unforgettable live performances, WARS are poised to take the UK music scene by storm. Keep an eye on these guys - they're going places.
