Life has been crazy lately, and there have been things I've been meaning to write about that keep getting put off. When it comes to the new EP from Austin, Texas's The Let Down, the putting off ends today. To employ a baseball metaphor, Awake is a fastball blazing right over the plate of my musical taste. This band's style of classic power pop with a whole lot of power is absolutely my cup of tea. All four of these songs are A-side–worthy, and I think any power pop fan will be jazzed about this EP. The Let Down was formed by longtime friends Evan Charles (vocals, guitar) and Chris Ritchie (vocals, bass). The band is rounded out by Z Lynch (guitar, backing vocals) and Jordan Cook (drums). These are great melodic songs with punchy guitars and catchy leads, and I am very excited to hear more. A very promising debut!
