Emotion runs high and draws from moments of despair on We Go On by Bobby Mahoney And The Seventh Son. The EP doesn’t narrow the tone down to one dimension; it connects with its rush and its beating heart. It’s the lyrics that chronicle the stranglehold of life’s downsides, and under the instrumentals, these words do not sit and take on the storm unwillingly, as they’re there to express what the band is trying to tell us.

We Go On sounds upbeat at times, but it’s not all flash. The underlining feeling is that the record pulls on melancholy, and it does so well. Throughout the EP, the vocals are perfectly placed to capture the lyrics and let them spring into life, and while they do so, the guitars and the cutting percussion spread their wisdom and heightened notes. And every piece of the EP has been drawn together through a craving for credibility, for a chance to shine.

The songs range from being loud and frantic, to being slow and subtle. This shows variation and a knack for good, honest song-writing. And We Go On doesn’t only show this, it actually has many chapters instilled into its story-line, one which captivates and yearns to be seen.

Moth To The Flame starts the record off in fine fashion. The percussion is on point, and the infusion of loud, volatile guitars adds a different range. It is commanding. Lay It On Me is an acoustic driven classic which conveys through its lyrical qualities, broken luck, and money that is keeping the man alive. The chime is beautiful, and the gritty vocals increase the tension. We Go On is another trailblazer, with hitting vocals and sturdy guitar parts, blossoming at every opportunity. The plot thickens.

This record has the bite and the melancholic vibe to arrest even broken hearts. Every moment, every turn, surprises.
