Usually demo sets have a distinct low fidelity quality to them, but Ryli’s set of demos doesn’t suffer from this, and the average listener might not even think it was produced art the artist’s home.

The synthesizer-rock combo is nothing new to the music scene, so you’d expect the bands that try their hand at it in this point of time wouldn’t come off as awkward. The Capes constantly blend catchy with annoying in Hello. All was well in the mix until the synthesizers and effects were added; not all [...]
