Some Mistakes Demo Review
Some Mistakes, is a new band for fans of Verse, Ruiner, and Defeater, with whom Some Mistakes played their second show, in February of 2010. Despite the recording quality, the Some Mistakes demo is a strong offering from such an inexperienced band. The demo has lyrics with deep political and personal meanings, which, along with the heartfelt, emotional vocals may be the strongest point of the album.
Some Mistakes open their three-song demo with “Burn the Papers”, a slow and melodic emotional roller coaster of song. While it builds, vocalist Will Turner (former bassist of Word Travels Fast) transforms into an angry, screaming ball of energy. The second track “Into Myself” chronicles the struggle in Turner’s home life and his childhood. “Aspirations (…Reprise)”, is the story of Will’s older brother dying while both boys were young.
Not very long after forming, Birdseye Recordings picked up the band. With the label paying for studio time for the demo, the band did not disappoint. Some Mistakes’ demo is one well worth your ear. Although it is brief, it keeps you listening, keeps you interested. Check them out here and be on the lookout for a Some Mistakes/Close to Me split in the near future.
