Waterdown from Germany make big steps forward
in their still young musical career. They were only formed in April 2000, but had already the
opportunity to support Grade on their German tour in summer 2000. The musicians from Grade were
very impressed by the young band and told their label Victory Records to sign them. So far about the
small past of Waterdown, the present is a debut CD called 'Don't Kill The Boy On The First Date',
released on Victory Records. Waterdown is an amalgamation of throaty harsh screaming and some of
the most euphonic vocal melodies you can imagine. On most songs, Waterdown try to find a bridge
between hard aggressive core and emo stuff, which is well done. But sometimes, they also like to be
very melodic, as on 'Round Two'. But very extreme stuff like 'Not Today' isn't a problem either for
Waterdown. But there are more surprises on this CD. 'Picketline' shows cool and groovy HipHop
vocals and 'Etikette tötet' is a song with Germany lyrics. If you like Emocore, give Waterdown
a chance. It's a very good debut they have produced, but there are still efforts to do to reach a
quality of bands like BoySetsFire or Grade. The differences between Waterdown and their idols are
still lying in the songwriting.
