Here's the Riot - 'Love Makes Me Crazy'
The year 2017 has shown a rapid gain in musical
momentum as a number of efficient and skillful musicians go on a roll craving
the desire of creative music. “Here's the Riot” is one of a kind which has
proficiently established its place as one of the best rock bands in this era
after they released their first album “Tonight We're Alive” on 24th of July
2017 under the label of Full Bleed Records.
The band is masterminded by guitarist and singer
Paris Tompkins who has also written all the songs in the EP. Eric Reymond
supports him with bass and Victor Singer beats the drums, forming an
exceptionally talented trio.
Paris moved from Houston to Los Angeles to seek his
career in music at the young age of 17. Later he formed the band “Slamhound”
with singer Josh Todd of Buck Cherry where he was the backup singer and
guitarist. Later Paris joined the alternative band “Church of Mars” as their
lead singer.
Taking inspirations from the well-known rock bands
like Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Guns & Roses, Paris has shown his genuine
creativity in all the five songs of this album. The words are heartwarming and
emotional, strongly based on love, anger, heartbreak, hope, freedom and being
human.
Among the five songs, the first single song
released was “Love Makes Me Crazy”, which is also featured on the hit
television show “One Mississippi”. The song creates the best power chord
symphony of a relatively hard rock record taking the band to great heights.
Beginning with a powerful and balanced rhythmic
instrumental section, the song “Love Make Me Crazy” increases the notch of a
listener's experience quite high. By the time Paris mouths the first few
lyrics, the alternative rock structure is already created.
Paris has kept the lyrics simple yet catchy,
amusing his audience by provoking their emotional thoughts on love and despair.
The audience would promptly relate to the emotions
in each of the lines that he has so perfectly versed in the song.
The chorus gives the feel of yearning for freedom
from an emotionally draining relationship which keeps provoking the anger and
helplessness within. Truly inspired by his own life, Paris has effectively
entwined his talent and experience in various astonishing moments with each
verse.
The chorus is cleverly linked for maintaining the
flow of emotions from pain to hurt and then anger. The impressive vocal and
engaging instrumental score gives a shallow dip before taking the high notes
with the next high intensified verse which enkindles the vulnerable state of a
broken heart.
“My heart is gone but my blood still pumps”,
another stance which slowly fades into a painfully defeated state as the song
takes a clumsy turn clustering the mind with stories of love and betrayal.
“Love Makes Me Crazy” has the power to engage its
listener into a distinctively engaging tale of insane love and heartbreak and
the way everything falls apart as the pain engulfs every hope and imposes an
unbeatable craziness.
