Qu!et and NOISEMAKER

NOISEMAKER – Hunter or Prey

Similar artists: SiM, ONE OK ROCK, coldrain, Crossfaith, CVLTE, Pay money To my Pain

Genre: Alternative-rock

How can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice/We need new noise. This was Refused’s decree to a new generation of punk rockers… back in the late 1990s. 

The truth is that rock fans are some of the hardest to convince of the benefits of change. One quick look at festival headliners these days should convince you. Almost all of the bands getting top billing could be classified as classic rock

Still, what about new sounds? And, without them, how can rock music be expected to find a new, sizeable audience? Luckily, not all modern musicians are interested solely in the guitar tone of 1970s virtuosos. 

NOISEMAKER’s Hunter or Prey fully embraces a modern hard-rock sound. It’s a style that is characterized by an incredible balancing trick that the production pulls off. This is music that sounds both highly aggressive and incredibly poppy, radio-friendly. And it’s a sound that finds beauty in heavily produced sounds over a live-band dynamic. 

The people who resist change aren’t usually busy scouting for new legions of fans like NOISEMAKER are doing. 


Qu!et – Far Beyond

Similar artists: Muse, Rage Against The Machine, All American Rejects

Genre: Pop Rock, Alternative Rock

Choosing modern music to listen to is like stepping into a liquor store. Sure, there are some that base their choices on refined taste. Most people, however, want something to start them up or to numb the pain. 

Just like there is a drink to accompany any mood you might be in, there is also a playlist to do the same. You used to hear about designer drugs. Now, here is music designed to accompany whatever you might be feeling.

This is not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, there is an inflation of music. Creating a soundtrack to your life isn’t complicated. And, if you run into trouble with finding new ideas, there’s always someone’s playlist to help you. 

Qu!et’s Far Beyond scratches an itch that only hard-rocking but pleasant rock music can. This is a rock song built around loud guitars. But it also features the shine of pop radio. Whatever your general music preferences, I bet you’ll find a spot for this in your life.
