Though they might be just two years, the sound of Nottingham based alternative rockers Killing Aura definitely stems from a previous generation. While they undoubtedly bring their own unique tinge to the style, that distinctive britpop tinge combined with a powering and frenetic energy on the instrumental arrangement makes for a high octane rock sound that’s long been lurking under the surface over the past decade. On ‘Resolution’, they bring out a message of empowerment, of self-belief, and of confidence in the face of naysayers and people telling you to change your authentic self. There’s so much raw emotion behind the vocal performance, so much purity behind the intent and aggression of the riff, and so much melody tying together each part of the seemingly chaotic arrangement.
There’s not a doubt in my mind that this outfit would be an absolute banger to listen to live. The sheer passion is palpable in each portion of the arrangement, amplified to new heights in the freneticism of it all.
