The latest EP from southeast Michigan’s own PlainView, is a nice emo throwback that revisits the glory days of the punk/emo boom of the early 00’s, with just enough new tricks thrown into the mix to keep things interesting. The band is comprised of Steven Dechausse (vocals), Aaron Rush (guitar/vocals), Andrew Momeyer (bass/vocals), Chris Parker(guitar), and Zach Schroeder (drums) and Nightlife was produced by Mike Martenson (Boys Of Fall). This set of songs that make up the EP features great guitar work, anthemic vocals, pulsating beats, and a little bit of everything you’d come to expect from a band heavily influenced by bands like Bayside, Silverstein, Aiden, and The Used. Guitarist Aaron Rush shared this about the EP, “Nightlife was written through 2020 and 2021 which I think were pretty demanding years for a lot of people. I was surrounded with a lot of stress and uncertainty after a close family member passed unexpectedly. This EP deals with a lot of those feelings but also acknowledges the growth and relationships that come out of dark places.” The band appears poised to take the next dramatic step forward after this great collection of hard-hitting songs.
