So Many Ways - So Many Ways EP Review

So Many Ways, is a Pop Punk / Hardcore band out of Chicago Illinois, and will be releasing their Self Titled EP tomorrow. Why listen to So Many Ways? What sets them apart from all the other bands playing this style of music? Simple….So Many Ways breaks the mold that the average Pop Punk / Hardcore band falls into.

Mario and I both agree that while So Many Ways get lumped as a Pop Punk / Hardcore band or even an Easycore band their Self Titled EP proves the band goes above and beyond any single genre influence with their newest batch of songs. Throughout the 7 song EP it is easy to recognize reoccurring examples of Punk, Hardcore, Thrash and Metal influence.

Track after track So Many Ways bring the energy. With this EP you get Melodic, Heavy and Fast parts mixed with riffs and screams, accompanied by ample opportunities for sing a longs and plenty of pile ons. This record made me mosh my bedroom to pieces for 20 minutes, but unfortunately left me wanting to stop what I was doing, give up on work for a few weeks drive to Chicago and see the carnage unfold in person. One of my favorite things about this EP is that the energy relays itself from the speakers to the listener, I found it difficult to sit still for more than a few seconds at a time.

You do not need to know much about the band to realize they have fun doing what they do. The guys of So Many Ways have clearly shown they can directly incorporate their influences into their own work, creating a completely unique EP. In fact show me a band that sounds like this and I will eat my words. Is it good? Indeed. Should you listen to it? Of course. Is it worth buying? Undeniably so.
