New Music Critique: Hurricane Inside

From its guitar-driven wind-up to its pounding delivery, rock duo Hurricane Inside generate a rough-hewn, reverb-drenched brand of blues-rock that leans to the alternative side of things. “Walk Away” makes it clear that these guys revel in their brittle guitar textures and bold, upfront drum presence. Lead vocals deliver positive lyrics about coping with the modern world. In “Willow,” Spanish guitar notes thread their way through the song like spun gold through burlap, accompanying interesting, philosophical lyrics. The swaggering “Pushin” might be the duo’s most memorable tune, topped off by some searing guitar licks. We feel the lead vocals could bring more grit to the party.
