Before Sunday – 'Anticipation': A gorgeous mix of elements!

and the London-based band is taking its first discographical steps, leaving big ambitions for the future.

A band that stands out

The truth is that in the years before entering the world of recorded music, they stood out for various achievements, such as reaching the final of the UK Songwriting Competition (2017) with the single "No Destination" and their sweeping participation with the beloved "Obsessions" in the UK Songwriting (2018) and Unsigned Only competition (2019). So, as you can imagine, the anticipation for something complete from this band was huge, and the truth is that Before Sunday rewarded us for it!

Their debut album "Anticipation" comes with 10 songs, which present us with the band's distinctive musical character, one you don't come across often out there. The Before Sunday have made sure to capture the multifaceted musical roots of the band's members, showing an intense drive for constant exploration of different musical styles and creative ideas. It's something worth praising, because it's been presented by the band in a very proper way, without missteps, and with facets that show just how well they grasp the ideology of music. And the fact that they took this risk from their very first album means a lot!

Many elements come together in a very beautiful way

So, putting on the record "Anticipation" to listen to, musical elements from pop, edm, hard rock, funk, and alternative come at us, none of which fall short in musical quality, whatever genre they happen to be serving. Truly, the different genres connect so beautifully, more than you'd expect, and create a result that pulls you in from start to finish. They've been approached very properly with quality and passion, and honestly deserve our congratulations!

When you listen to them you too will realize that Before Sunday have hit the bullseye with the character they chose to give their debut record, and once you listen to them, you'll find it hard to peel yourself away! They're genuine in what they do, and no matter how much they get tangled up with various styles, they manage to leave their mark and conquer them, giving off a Before Sunday character that you'll fall in love with.

Also, Before Sunday have also taken care with the lyrical side, which is very important, especially for a debut record. They don't disappoint you in their writing, and it holds up as it should whatever genre it's expressing, which isn't so easy for a band taking its first steps. They have a creative and catchy style, and they fit perfectly with the whole concept found on the album "Anticipation”.

Editor's Choice: 'Living In London'

'Living In London' is the track that immediately stood out to me on the record! It's a very catchy song with a rhythm that hooks you in the first few seconds. At the same time, it describes a real, lived-in story (presumably the story the guys themselves experienced moving to London). The video clip is also excellent, as it features an alien in London. It stands as a complete reference to a person who isn't from the city but is trying to live in it. Enjoy it!

In conclusion

In the end, the anticipation was more than worth it, and the reviews they've received before and after their first recorded work are anything but random. You love all their songs, you love all their musical genres, you love all their musical traits, you love the whole record! Listen to them and you won't lose out!
