I'm usually able to pin down a band's style or influences when I listen to an album. I couldn't do that with Western Settings. The band is a diverse mix of different influences, reflected in the variety of songs on the album, that makes them stand out from other bands. They aren't pigeon-holed into one style and aren't afraid to take a chance with a song that other bands would save for a b-side ("Dying Without Children," "Table for One," "Bricks"). Western Settings regularly takes what would have already been a great song to a different place, turning songs into anthems that kids will sing along with. Western Settings will be that band that bridges the gaps between punk, emo, and hardcore, bringing the spectrum of the scene together for a rollicking good time.
