There are many different things associated with Amsterdam, such as canals, museums and of course the infamous coffee shops, but pop punk isn’t usually one of them. However, Bounds Of Modesty, a four-piece band that formed in 2009, are on a mission to change this with their latest EP ‘Dreamers’.
‘Dreamers’ is the soundtrack to Bounds Of Modesty’s latest feature film, which promises to tell the story of the friends chasing their dreams and the obstacles that they encounter on the way. Also, each of the five songs on ‘Dreamers’ claims to have its own signature instrument, such as banjos, harmoniums and ukuleles. Opening track ‘The Heart Wants’ is upbeat and fast-paced, which instantly catches your attention. Callum Stamp’s vocals are harmonic and striking, allowing you to really focus on the stories being told in the lyrics. The beautiful fusion of acoustic riffs and harrowing vocals pull at your heartstrings and leaves you desperate to hear more.
‘Superheroes’ is one of the slowest-paced songs on the album, however, the emotion-filled lyrics and stunning vocals are more than enough to keep you entertained.
Final track ‘Awake’ is not only just a great ending to ‘Dreamers’, it also proves that every song on the EP is enjoyable to listen to. Although the orchestra-like composition of the song sounds nothing like pop-punk, they prove that they are multi-talented and unique.
Although Bounds Of Modesty are relatively unknown, many bands could learn a thing or two about multimedia from them. Every song is full of emotion and harmonies, proving that they are not just another pop punk band on the circuit: they are hard-working and talented musicians who deserve to have a much bigger fanbase.
