Agony Way


I’m not sure why they picked this name, cause Agony way is everything but an Agony way.
They may even sound a bit cheerful, but that might be just my opinion. One thing is for sure, Agony Way is ready to enrich the alternative rock scene!
This punky rock band from Italy is only a few years old, but they’ve already managed to capture their very own sound in their new record called ‘For rent’. The next Vanilla Sky? No, cause they’re not as poppy and emotional as the Vanillo’s. But they do have potential, cause they sound like no other; Original, energetic, catchy, honest with a punky attitude.
“For Rent” is full of powerful songs that makes you want to dance, jump and scream at the same time. Especially “At terror street” and “The quick brown fox” are very addictive songs, even when you listen to this songs for the first time. I usually need to get accustomed to songs, but this time it was different, special... The songs sticked to my head even after the first time of hearing them. So, that could mean that the songs are catchy, predictable, easy listening or just pretty amazingly special?! Some of the songs on “For Rent” are catchy and some of the choruses are maybe a bit predictable, but that’s okay, cause they’re part of a total called ‘great rock music’. Let me be clear about this: Music doesn’t need to be complex, it needs to be friendly for your ears. And that’s what makes this music so pretty amazingly special! Agony Way is nice and punky, just the way I like it!
