Every New Day is a punk band from western Canada. This trio plays a high paced, semi-hard style of punk that is unique. Their first release, Every New Day, is an eight song EP. Can decent lyrics overcome musical deficiencies and an average at best lead vocal?
Song to song, this just is not a very good EP. While the lyrics are impressive, musically, there is a lot of room for improvement. It's not the technical aspect as much as the song structure and general sound. Every New Day opens up with their best overall song, "Mirror." It is lyrically strong, but musically nothing special. An interesting musical refrain is one of its most redeeming qualities, but again the lyrics are their strength.

Every New Day has some work to do. There is potential to move people with the lyrics. In today's fast food culture, it is great to hear songs that mean something. Unfortunately, they make better reading than listening. Wait for future releases from these guys.

There are some key differences however, such as some killer guitar leads thrown in here and there which help to liven things up. While most of the CD is hyper-beat punk, "Lost in…
