This Pennsylvania-based band knows how to open an EP, that’s for sure. “Enough” storms out through the gates with loud guitars, fast drums and gritty vocals. Comparisons with Hot Water Music are quite simply inevitable. Of course when done right, this is more a good thing rather than a problem. And the guys in Daylight do it well.

During the other songs you still hear some HWM influences, but there’s some Jawbreaker and Polar Bear Club going on as well. On songs like “The Best” and the title track they pull their sound open a bit more, the first being a darker, more restrained cut and the latter being their loudest and most pissed off song out of this bunch. The dual vocals work especially well on this one.

All in all I’d say that this EP are fifteen minutes well spent and I wouldn’t mind hearing more from these guys!

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
