Mini-Album Review - SiM ``LiFE and DEATH``

SiM 『LiFE and DEATH』

Release date: May 2, 2012

GILS-1002

     I had heard of the band SiM before, but I never listened to them. It wasn't until I was wandering around a store in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo and walked past a display of their new Mini-Album, 『LiFE and DEATH』 that I actually heard their music.They had the music video for “AMY” playing, and I liked how it sounded, and they also looked cool. I felt very compelled to get the CD.

     SiM (Silence iz Mine) lists their style as “REGGAE PUNK (STREET PUNK / HARD CORE / SCREAMO meets SKA / REGGAE)” on their website. Well, that pretty much sums up the sound of 『LiFE and DEATH』. It's a very intriguing mix that really works for them. I'll be honest, I have never heard anything like it.
