| A Step Behind, reigning from the great state of Texas, has been silent from the studio since 2004 of their debut full length album “Since We Can’t Have Forever.” Formally being associated with 99cent records they are now independent artists and are coming up on their sophomore album titled “This Is What We’ve Become.” The album contains five tracks each with stunning individuality.
Kicking off the “This Is What We’ve Become” is a track by the name of “Kicked Our Fate and Killed Desire.” The semi hard guitar catches your attention right off the bat keeping you amused until you reach the incredibly catchy chorus. “Truth Be Told” and “Don’t Ask Me How I’ll Tell You (Plan B)” are complete opposites of each other. “Truth Be Told” is a melodic based rock song with quiet and heart felt lyrics reaching out into the ears of anyone willing to listen. “Plan B” is a more up beat song kicking the pop punk side of the band.
As we near the end the cover song “This Is What We’ve Become” is another pop rock influenced song. Descriptive and vivid, the song is thoroughly retrieved by your brain and played over and over again. After one listen too “This Could Be Happening” you’ll think of it more than a song, but as an anthem with its soothing intro and the solo at 2:09.
I declare this album a success in the year 2007. This album is well worth 17 minutes and a few dollars out of your man purse. So put the girl pants in the closet, forget the eye liner, and listen to some original rock from A Step Behind.
