I
really don't know what to make of
Vancouver
based melodic rock band Tourist. 'The Relevance of Motion' is their
debut album, and their strange cocktail of modern, almost nu-metal
sounding guitars and hard rock melody lines, choirs and choruses makes
me kind of frustrated.
If
I were a nu metal fan I would be missing the aggressive edge, and as a
melodic rock fan I really hate the guitar sound - so the band ends up
being uninteresting for both sides. Sure there are some cool melodies
here and there, but I don't feel the guitar sound fits the music at
all...
But
if you are a bit open-minded and like bands like Nickelback or Billy
Talent, then I suggest you give them a try... starting with songs like
"Jacob's Ladder", "Everytime we Touch" (first single
and a song that is being used as the theme song supporting the release of the 1970 reissue of the Converse classic
shoe) or the cool ballad "It Just Doesn't Matter".
