Framing Hanley are most well known for a pretty kick-ass cover of lil' Wayne's "Lollipop", but the song which shot them to fame has been descibed by the quintet to have "left them with the need to reclaim their identity". Thus, the quintet from Tenesse spent two months in a studio in the mountains of Pennsylvania working on the record A Promise to Burn, of which WarZone is track 5 of.
The intro is soft, melodic, almost eerie, before the full band comes in, parallelling the original intro. A while later, the instrumentals tone down to allow the vocals to enter and take centre stage. Throughout the song, the instrumentals complement the vocals, sometimes content with being in the background, other times demanding more attention from the listener. Nonetheless, the fine guitar work is inventive, and while not being complicated, do provide a suitable, nice melody for the song.
The rythm section is stable as well, with the drums providing a simple, but nonetheless catchy beat. All in all, this song is simple, but at the same time, still really catchy and melodic.
P.S. I'm sorry, this review is really sucky. But the song is indeed a really good one, and it is one of my favourites. I'll write a better one and post it up, along with a lyric video. Its really late now, so I guess I'll say goodnight. Goodnight. (: Check out the song, it really does rock.
