Union is a band from Grimsby, U.K with an Alt/Indie sound. All the members are about 17 years old and have been playing together for 3 years . The song Before I was a day, I was a dawn is an interesting insight to the bands style. The lead guitar work immediately impresses through its unorthodox approach and makes you wish it was present more consistently through the song. The drums complement the music very well; it is unique and yet not too far out there. The vocals sound sometimes like they go slightly out of key but it might be part of their style. The lyrics are still in need of some polishing but that can sometimes be the hardest part to creatively grow into. The lyrics on are their way to being "their own", but as any writer can tell you their earlier work was a bit more predictable. I can barely hear the bass guitar in this one, this might be due to it mimicking the rhythm guitar. If this is the case, straying a little from the path might add a layer of texture to the music. This band has been receiving increasing amounts of popularity through out Europe and it is clear why. They have an excellent sound and I wish I was half as good as they are at their age. I believe this band has very prosperous future. Their songs are consistent and yet individualistic. Get a little taste of Grimsby and listen to their EP Monty!Union - Before I was a day, I was a dawn.
