Aspergers - Aspergers - Download (2012)

Labels: self released
Review by: Oli Saunders

Somebody’s gotta keep talking about screamo on this site right? So here’s another quick review. I believe that Aspergers originally tried to rip off Jeromes Dream as much as possible—and they did a pretty good job—but their songs on this new EP show that they have evolved somewhat. The best bit about them is that at times they make their guitars squeal and jar. Not many bands of this ilk do that these days. The worst part, however, is that on this EP the vocals don’t quite keep their end up. Copy Jeromes Dream: get criticised for it; change vocals: get criticised for it. But vocals are key in screamo and with a bit of tinkering this band could be great. At the moment it’s not quite working but it’s not bad.
