The seemingly recent grunge genre revival is full of ingenuine music, but albums such as Aberdeen is Dead give fans hope for the new waves of alternative subcultures. 

Previously known as Aberdeen, Aberdeen is Dead’s recent self-titled album continues the band’s dirty, grunge sound, while offering darker and more personal undertones. This album is perfect for fans of bands like Descendents and Foo Fighters, who are also looking for new music. 

Aberdeen is Dead perfectly shows the best part of the band, which is the unpolished, rawness of their music. 

Songs “Ink on the Page” and “Darkest Hour (Hold on to Me)” exemplify the talent and thought put into this album, since both songs share the same grungy garage band sound, but with completely different meanings and vibes that resonate with a broader audience. 

On top of the admirable sound, Aberdeen is Dead touches on topics including infatuation, capitalism, and anxiety. 

Aberdeen is Dead’s first album, Lamb, is very similar in the aspect of sound, but the band’s latest work definitely takes a new raw and personal approach that allows fans to deeply connect with the artists (Matt Bolling and Jake Linder). 

Generally, the band is still young, and Bolling and Linder still have many things to learn with a long road ahead of them. However, their work shows immense potential and passion, and perfectly offers a nostalgic revamp of the 90’s alternative sound.
