Editor's review
Even emo's detractors have trouble taking jabs at the New Jersey-based act, who continue to master the genre's key themes--pinched tenor vocals, fuzzed out guitars, short and tart hooks--while upping its intelligence quotient. Can we skip the definitions and just call "Under the Boards" solid rock?
Biography
Under The Boards is the second installment of a three-album trilogy, continuing a story about self-discovery that began with last year’s Sound The Alarm and will conclude with a third album, Daybreak, to be released next year. Conley previously commented: “Sound The Alarm is an expression of discontent. Under The Boards is reflection and remorse. Daybreak is acceptance.” The band – original members Conley and David Soloway (guitar) along with Manuel Carrero (bass) and Durijah Lang (drums) – co-produced the 13 songs on Under The Boards with Marc Hudson and Eric Stenman at their Electric Ladybug studio in northern California.
