The Trophy Fire

Add Date: October 18 

Artist: The Trophy Fire 

Album: Modern Hearts 

Label: Greyday 

Genre: Rock 

Comments: Though a little generic, Modern Hearts is an enjoyable album in any case. Supposedly, this album is about "the challenges and the hopes of living in modern culture," but The Trophy Fire's lyrics usually involve drinking booze. So pretty much what we've got here is less poignant The National with uptempo drums and guitar. When they add other instruments like a synth, or when they distort the vocals, they've got some winners. So this is about a 6/10. Try "Comrades" or "Heartbeats".
