JOHN (TIMESTWO) are well-known for their energetic and frenetic live performances. But what makes them really stand out from the crowd is how punchy they manage to sound on the record as well. Put it on at the maximum volume in your headphones and their raw and unapologetic rock sound will just knock you out.
On A Life Diagrammatic, their new album that is out now, they double down on everything that makes them great and manage to create their best release so far. The duo’s ability to combine melodic elements with blistering intensity is apparent here, creating an infectious and rebellious atmosphere and expressing frustrations and anxieties in the world we are living in.
Two tracks particularly stand out, “Service Stationed” and “Trauma Mosaic”, which are probably JOHN’s catchiest songs to date. It is so much more than just a wall of noise and guitar/drums assault on your ears — these cuts are driven by the band’s tight musicianship, blending controlled chaos with big hooks.
