Vermillion Road- Palaces
by Tim Wenger
There is nothing quite like turning on a new band, not sure what you’re getting in to, and being pleasantly surprised to hear a very solid brand of alt-rock full of punk rock and indie influence. Such was the case with the opening track on the new Vermillion Road album Palaces. Power chords and strong, picturesque lyrics dominate the ten-track album. Locally, the band is reminiscent of fellow modern rockers Dimmer Switch. Produced by the infamous Jonathan Lee, this album is easy to get lost in.
The title track “Palaces” shows the band’s emotional side- a rocking, chest-clearing ballad full of oohs that definitely has radio potential. Let’s hope these guys gig the hell out of this record- the rock scene here on the front range needs to continue stepping away from the thin-waist/tight-pant indie rock that has been defining our city.
