Sherwood: A Different Light Review

Sherwood: A Different Light ReviewThis my first post, and I’ll start off with one of my favourite bands in the past 2 months. Sherwood is an indie band by definition (currently signed to Myspace records), but they are more fittingly an alternative pop rock band. Hailing from California, their catchy upbeat music, fits the feel-good, care-free lifestyle attached to the state of California

I first heard of Sherwood after purchasing tickets to the Sleeping With Giants Tour, headlined by The Academy is… After never before hearing of Sherwood, it was a safe bet that I should probably listen to some of their stuff before going to see them live. Their first song off the album, A Different Light, instantly hooked me. “Song in my head” starts the album off with a mellow beat, which retains the upbeat nature of Sherwood’s music. The best way I can describe this song is “it’s the perfect background tune, for any happy memory you want to reminiscence about.” Other notable songs are Middle of the Night, which is a little more aggressive, and Alley Cat, which is perhaps their softest beat off the album. Sherwood doesn’t have the most original vocals or beats, but the way their songs and album are put together is excellent. Through their music the band provides hope for a sunny day, or helps others recall memories of the past. I would definitely recommend this band for those who have a softer taste in music, and perhaps like the nostalgic feeling over simply music alone.
