DECYFER DOWN
Crash
(INO)
****
Citing personal issues, founding member and vocalist Caleb Oliver left Decyfer Down last year, leaving some question about the future of the band. After all, several rock bands have attempted to change the most pivotal position on stage and in studio and never recovered. This early into a band’s career, even a replacement as talented as T.J. Harris might not be enough.
However, a quick look at the news section of Decyfer Down’s Web site reveals a band continuing to climb; listening to Crash only bolsters that belief. The alternative rock tunes presented here build impressively upon the success of the band’s debut, End of Grey.
Even after the insane ride Decyfer Down members must feel they’ve been on, Crash only cements the band’s status as one to watch. If anything, it’s the much needed assurance that everything will be alright.
