The Score - Atlas

Indie Pop/Alternative Rock band, The Score, dropped Atlas, their first LP that consists of twelve power-house, hard-hitting songs. Several of these have already been released on EPs and singles over the last year or so. Since their debut release in 2015, they've had the tendency to produce music that's very driven and about trying to move upward in life and/or hitting obstacles in the process.

The band’s goal seems to be to create songs that tell their own story while also making them empowering and relatable for their listeners. “Legend,” an older release also included on the new album, has been increasingly played during occasions like sporting events, as it appropriately has the aggressive lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation to push anyone to do their best performance. “The Miracle” and “Tightrope” can really hit home for those who are trying to find their way in life but are being held back; possibly by others, or even themselves. But there are also songs like “Higher” and “Shakedown” that talk about how when life fought against the band in achieving their goal, they fought back. Basically for anyone who is experiencing or has experienced various hardships on the road to success, this could be your soundtrack. And there’s even a deluxe version with sixteen additional tracks, consisting of stripped versions, previous releases, and some more new releases. Atlas has received a lot of great responses from both old and new listeners, making a great impression of The Score as their debut LP. Definitely a band to include on the workout playlist.
