Reviews

Formerly known as Eiffel, Vaux is essentially a post-hardcore progressive rock band with 6 people. With that aside, I'd like to say that this album is really refreshing to hear. It's great to hear a post-hardcore band that doesn't go overboard with the screaming. The vocals on this EP are very tasteful; there is screaming when need be, but the majority is just singing, and both are done extremely well. The vocalist's voice even resembles Thom Yorke of Radiohead fame at times, which I also enjoyed. The instrumentation of this album is incredible too. The drums are very creative, and the guitar work is some of the best I've heard in awhile. Everything on this EP simply goes together quite well. The song lengths are a plus too, with the shortest song being 3:43 and the longest one 5:59. Another neat thing I noticed was the song titles and the order (Everday, We Speed, On, To the End). Pretty clever. Catch these guys on tour with Snapcase and Boy Sets Fire this fall, and be on the lookout for their full length out in early 2003, I'm quite sure it will be a worthwhile purchase.
