Strange Company - Do You Feel Numb?

Back to the noise for this review. South Wales five-piece Strange Company blend high-energy emo-punk with emotionally charged modern rock, drawing on influences such as Boston Manor and Bring Me The Horizon.

‘Do You Feel Numb?’ starts hard and frenetic, before pulling back where the first verse becomes more reflective, built around soft piano and emotive vocals. The song then explodes again into heavy noise and almost-screamo vocals, setting the pattern for this punchy, bleakly honest track.

Matt Davies shows impressive vocal range, while the huge recurring riff gives everything real weight. There’s also a lovely guitar and piano breakdown, which was my favourite part. Overall, ‘Do You Feel Numb?’ is an intense, cathartic slice of modern emo-rock.
