He Is Legend

It’s hard to dislike a screamo band that quotes Beyoncé in their lyrics. He Is Legend’s latest I Am Hollywood is a catchy and a solid record, with songs that are poised to get crowds moving at live shows. After their previous releases, I was anticipating the band to venture on the border of melodic hardcore, and this is surprisingly more along the lines of melodic rock. "The Creature Walks” is a total rock radio single, while "These Walls Have Teeth” is a slow sing-a-long anthem. "Do You Think I’m Pretty” is a standout track and really points to the direction the band is moving. This is a charming, exciting album that deserves more than a couple spins.
