Consequence Of Sound
As emotionally exorcising as We Are Augustines’ music is, it uses hope and a promise for salvation and recovery as its primary instrument. It’s practically in Sanderson’s guitar sound, and it’s definitely in McCarthy’s vulnerable, raw wail

It's a disappointment that their live energy hasn't been replicated on Rise Ye Sunken Ships. This is a band that clearly can stir up an audience, so it's a pity to find quite as many lightweight tunes amongst the genuinely good ones
