The Remedy
Self-Released, 2019
8/10
A Sweden based outfit who take influenced from artists like Led Zeppelin or even Green Day, By Aim pack a lot of punch and melody into this energetic sophomore album.
After a thundering and riff heavy start with the anthemic and melodic rock of “Some Kind Of Voodoo”, “Carry Me Home” brings plenty of charged rhythm to an immediately memorable, arena friendly rocker.
Further along, “Man On The Edge” uses precise, swirling guitars for one of the album’s best, while the percussive heavy “Minus M” recruits a hypnotic formula for a quieter outing that’s no less impactful.
Near the end, “Together Apart” takes nod to ‘90s alt-rock with great results, and “Louder Than Reggae” ends the listen with a throbbing, powerful conclusion where backing vocals and attention to mood illuminate the exit.
A well recorded listen that finds a nice place to reside between raw and polished, The Remedy is an infectious affair that all fans of rock from any decade since the ‘70s will find irresistible.
