Frontal Boundary is an American trio based in Los Angeles, consisting of Krz Souls, Brendin Ross, and Jaysen Craves. All three members are actively involved in other projects, making them far from newcomers to the scene.

Following a string of EPs, the group released “Shutting Down” last year. The album explores intense emotions that can surface in any circumstance, with music serving as a powerful means of regulation.

From the outset, Frontal Boundary delivers a relentless brand of Dark-Electro that quickly escalates into full-throttle ‘Hell-Electro.’ While the album embraces some genre clichés, it does so with confidence, weaving in cold, piercing melodies and explosive choruses. The vocals, raw and possessed, complement the dark, unyielding soundscape perfectly.

“Shutting Down” doesn’t necessarily break new ground, but it marks a promising beginning for a band well worth keeping an eye on. (Rating:8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
