Fallen from the Sky "Tonight We Radiate"

Channeling Hot Water Music and Polar Bear Club, Fallen from the Sky brings a driving, hardcore-inspired energy and sense of camaraderie to the gruff, textured punk rock with which the aforementioned bands are so closely associated. Up-tempo and built for big, group sing-alongs, the band's sound is noticeably accessible, with more than enough memorable choruses and lots of catchy guitar leads in the verses, but still raw and believable. Singer Ryan Loughley deserves credit for the band's genuine delivery; his deep, barked vocals and not-quite-perfect singing sound comfortable amongst the driving chord progressions and breezy lead guitars. For my money, Tonight We Radiate's 10 songs don't get much better than "Out of Control," which absolutely erupts at 2:30 (after a subdued, rhythmic bridge) for a booming, stepped-up version of the already killer chorus. "Skeletons" is equally catchy, with its simple chorus lyric of "I'm kicking out the skeletons tonight!" and "The Torch" lunges at you with its brisk, melodic hardcore direction. But, man, "Out of Control" is where it's at.
