BORDERLINE

BORDERLINE
FROM TALES TO REALITY (2008)
320 KBPS

The French emo scene has, for too long, been a deserted place. We had Vanilla, Dead Pop Club, Elevate Newton Theory... All good bands but none gained any success. Now, finally, 2008, Borderline appears out of nowhere. It's really strange actually since the emo hype seems to have vanished and the most successfull bands coming from it (The Used, My Chemical Romance) now struggle to make people forget they once were emo. So what it is? A temporal shift of some sort or just that the lads from Borderline just do their thing because they're enjoying it. I'd go with the latter. All in all, it's not a bad album we're having here, it reminds me of Armor for Sleep, Further Seems Forever or Hawthorne Heights. Problem is, who wants emo anymore. If you do, you're in for a nice treat, if you don't just pass your way but you'd be missing a good little album.
