‘Something Worth Saving’ Review
“Five short songs but endless energy, holy smokes. I think “Something Worth Saving” is my favourite so far. Its working title during recording was “Paraunderstein”, named for the influences it had from Paramore, Underoath, and Silverstein which… is entirely accurate. “Flatline” is about Chester Bennington which adds an extra layer for me personally, but the whole collection is so strong. It’s even wilder once you hear the story behind it all.” - Paigebackstage.com
EP Review: Friday Giants Something Worth Saving
“Persistence,” the opening track of Friday Giant’s new EP Something Worth Saving, is intense – it’s a fast-tempo, high-energy rocker that ticks all the post-hardcore boxes without sounding like every other post-hardcore song. The vocals range between smoothly melodic to primally screamed, investing the listener in the emotional space of the song. “Something Worth Saving” smacks you in the fact with more pounding drums and chunky guitar, laying a foundation for a catchy guitar hook and more of those dynamic vocals. - CincyMusic.com
