Hailing from their formative years in early 2017, Pray For Sleep dropped their debut single in June of that same year. The track, "Bittersweet," pulled off an impressive feat by snagging two consecutive victories in the Battle of the Buzz competition shortly after its release. Encouraged by this positive reception, the band dove headfirst into their songwriting endeavors. Fast forward to December 2017, and they had compiled enough material to launch an EP, arming themselves with the ammunition needed to make a lasting impression on the local music scene in Columbus.
Taking a listen to one of their recent tracks, "Shade," I couldn't help but notice its precision and atmospheric elements. The song delivers a solid punch with moments that really hit hard, while the hook brought back memories of the band Linkin Park. It's an intense track that grabs your attention and doesn't let go until the final note. Another standout, "Scream Back," carries a garage rock vibe at times, yet manages to switch to heavy territory with finesse. The varied vocal styles caught my ear, and credit is due to the mixing engineer for their adept work. Then there's "You Can't Make Me," a track that can be best described as explosive. The guitar work with its rhythmic intricacies adds a cutting edge, and the infectious hook is hard to deny. The robotic vocal effect was an interesting touch that seemed to fit well. In a nutshell, Pray For Sleep has got the goods. Their performance is solid, and I have no doubt that fans of rock and metal will find plenty to enjoy here.
