Chicago has seen many great bands come and go, and hopefully the newly formed foursome Dowsing is here to stay (at least for a while). When a group of college friends come together to play music and have fun, their passion and excitement for their project definitely shows.
Dowsing formed in late 2010 and by mid-2011, they had already signed onto Count Your Lucky Stars Records and released their debut EP, All I Could Find Was You. This six song release will take you back to your old days of innocence, being young and stupid, falling in and out of love, and learning valuable lessons. When you listen to this record, all you will want to do it just turn it up, forget everything, and sing as loud as you can. In fact, their songs welcome this result—more than half of them have significant parts dedicated to chorus chants and repetitive, nostalgic phrases with words and subject matter that everybody can relate to.
Dowsing’s music can mostly be compared to that of The Promise Ring, but they still create a new sound of their own. It can best be described as subdued melodic pop punk paired with rough vocals. If you’re in a mood to just have fun, be yourself, and jam out, Dowsing is a must-listen.
Nice album reviews. Good descriptions on the sound and lyrics
