There’s an unmistakable ‘80s rock/punk energy pulsing through the track, layered with intriguing gothic and alternative nuances.
The relentless rhythm combined with a haunting atmosphere conjures up a slightly vampiric vibe, creating a sense of intrigue that hooks you right away.
Next up is “Summer Ends In June”, a track that keeps the intensity high while shifting the mood to something more dystopian and reflective. The song’s nostalgic melody tugs at your emotions, while the vocal lines remain sophisticated and never predictable. There’s an artful balance between darkness and melody here that showcases the band’s skill in crafting songs that resonate.
“Mariia” follows with a relentless drumbeat that feels like a speeding train, unstoppable and powerful. The melody has a sinister charm, with changes in intensity and dynamic shifts that keep you on your toes. The precision in the song’s arrangement is impressive, highlighting the band’s ability to fuse atmosphere with rock grit.
The EP closes with “Carry Me Home”, a brighter, almost Ska-infused track that gets your foot tapping from the first beat. It’s an unexpected yet refreshing end to the EP, demonstrating Bad Valentines’ knack for blending genres without losing their signature touch.
Throughout Memory Tattoos, it’s clear that Bad Valentines are masters of balancing retro influences with a modern, gritty edge. Their sound is unique and innovative, showcasing a band that knows how to write, perform, and deliver quality rock music.
