Early day Miners - All Harm Ends Here

Ever experienced one of those days? The sky is grey. Its pissing heavily. The bus has broken down and you have to walk it home, being splashed by every second car. Earlier on you had a crap day at work. You feel that you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Anyways, after you trudge home you really need some suitable music.
Look no further, for The early Day Miners fourth album ‘All Harm Ends Here’ does the job perfectly.

The Early Day Miners sound borrows from Echo and the Bunnymen, The Church and The Cure i.e. dark brooding rock that for some strange reason is uplifting and warm-sounding. Although the lyrics deal with loss of love, the arpeggios make one feel that things will be for the better. In fact the title ‘All Harm Ends Here’ is assuring you that the hurt will stop.

Yes the majority of the songs are long and need time to develop, but be patient for there are great rewards in store as the album’s beauty just unfolds and envelopes you in dizzy wonder. My personal favourite track is ‘All Harm’, a very intense rocker that is brittle and has a naggingly circular riff that increases and decreases as the song progresses.

Oh yeah I forgot to continue my story. So you play EDM and suddenly all your problems slip away and the sun shines brightly through the clouds and the world looks better. That is ‘The Early Day Miners’ experience!
