A Day Without Love is the emo/punk rock brainchild of rhythm guitarist/vocalist Brian Walker, with additional help from producer/former lead guitarist/bassist Jake Detweiler, and drummer Andrew Ryan. There's a lot to be said about the album sonically, considering the variation of instrumentation. You have everything from fast in your face electric guitar and drums, to snapping, clapping, and strolling down the street-esque acoustic guitar. Not only that, but Walker's vocals are very clear, and you can easily hear every sarcastic line about love, and every emotion in his voice on some of the heavier electric songs.
Detweiler and Walker are very talented guitarists, and the album shows off their chops well. Walker's songwriting ability is also at an extremely high level because everything on this album feels very sincere, and very thoughtful. And when you get to emotional songs like My Sober Friend Became a Monster, you feel the solemness in Walker's voice. The little segues at the end of songs that sound disjointed actually help the album stay together, like at the end of My Sober Friend Became A Monster (yes I'm using the same song twice as an example), and actually keep within the overall tone of each song, which seems to be about love and loss.
Whatever is going with this project needs to continue, and I have high hopes for Walker on his future endeavors!
I rate it a 9/10 would listen again.
