Change is a word many people are ashamed to admit that they are scared of. Some take it as a sense of inadequate stability, while others thrive on the feeling of what is yet to come, almost like an adrenaline rush. We also learn how to compromise our lives with others. Our lives are full of winding roads, turning points and busy highways. We are all capable of success, the only downfall people possess is the fear of change, 'It's not a change for the worst, your soul's your strength did you throw it away', taken from the song " Built 2 Break" by Vancouver based band "Road Engine Dreams" from their self titled album. The chord changes and melody in minor mixes the beat of the drums and hard riffs, almost like the uphill battle of life. The sonic qualities, tempo and rhythm makes this song so vivid, one can almost feel the pain in which we suffer or the freedom of taking a deep breath on a beautiful day. Almost like the border between music and noise so is music and culture in which Road Engine Dreams writes about in "Built 2 Break." Based in East Vancouver, Road Engine Dreams album was written about the life experiences of the band's daily life.
Road Engine Dreams is four talented musicians with the strength and belief in themselves and each other. For more information on the band go to: www.roadenginedreams.com or www.myspace.com/roadenginedreams.
