The Lonely Parade - Splenda Thief

Review by Gary Henderson

Lonely Parade's Splenda Thief is a refreshing and captivating album that showcases the band's growth and maturity. The trio's signature sound of grunge-inspired punk rock is still present, but there are also clear indications of experimentation and evolution.

The album opens with the dynamic "I'm So Tired," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features catchy riffs, intricate drumming, and intricate harmonies. "Night Cruise," the album's lead single, is a standout track that features a groovy bassline and memorable lyrics.

Throughout the album, Lonely Parade explores themes of anxiety, self-doubt, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The lyrics are honest and relatable, and the band's raw energy makes each track feel like a personal confession.

One of the album's highlights is "Duck Hunt," a slower and more introspective track that showcases the band's versatility. The song features haunting harmonies and a melancholic melody that perfectly captures the feeling of being lost and alone.

Summary by Gary Henderson

Splenda Thief is a fantastic album that showcases Lonely Parade's growth as a band. The trio's ability to blend punk rock with other genres and their willingness to experiment with new sounds make this album a must-listen for fans of the genre.
