Review by: Oli Saunders
Featherweight are from Adelaide and play emotive hardcore. It reminds me a little of bands like The Hope Conspiracy (well, track two does) but I get that the “emotive” side that they stress makes things a little more melodic; for example, ‘A Shift In Stability’ is a far more twinkly number and you could almost trick me into thinking this was a new song by Québec. Great stuff. Track four carries this on and I really dig the emo side of things. Overall they seem to straddle a genre I love and one I used to love but there isn’t quite enough there for me to recommend it.
