Reviews:
"With influences ranging from Underoath to In Flames and beyond, This Michigan-based outfit has toured all across the nation several times, bringing their spirited brand of metallic energy to the masses.
It's All Gone South has captured their compelling presence in the studio, presenting ten shimmering tracks (plus intro) of sonic artistry that will dazzle the senses. Combining a stirring collection of lyrics with a frenetic soundscape that is nothing short of mesmerizing Bringing Down Broadway will surely obliterate the metalcore scene with their anthem-like collection of tunes.
Take a chance on these guys and prepare to be absolutely impressed! Expect this band to soar to greater heights, as 'It's All Gone South' is destined to send Bringing Down Broadway into the stratosphere. An important band we'll be hearing a lot more from in the future."
Great album, good breakdowns and fun two steps!
An all-around solid album. The vocals are amazing, guitars are blazing, basslines are sweet, and drums are sick. This album will impact you.

"I was stoked when Wounded Records sent me Bring Down Broadways' new release "It's All Gone South" last week. As I was planning on picking up a copy anyway. The first track, an intro that sounds like a demo from a cheese 8-bit 80's toy keyboard, kind of threw me off for a second. But as soon as "Barely There" started and I realized that it wasn't representative of the production quality, I got a little chuckle out of it. Although I'll probably never listen to it again since I skipped that track when I ripped the CD to my music library.
All in all I really liked this CD. The songs are very indicative of Metalcore in general these days but they still manage enough dynamics and originality to elevate them above the clones of the genre. If I were to compare them to more well known bands. I would say the vocals are very Tim Lambesis(As I Lay Dying) circa "Beneath the Encasing of Ashes." And musically they remind me a lot of August Burns Red. You should pick yourself up a copy of this disc. I think you'll enjoy it, I did."
"I bought this CD back in June at Cornerstone Music Festival. It's an awesome album with great hardcore breakdowns and vocals. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of hardcore, metal, or screamo."
Beim ersten Hören von "It's All Gone South", dem Debutalbum von Bringing Down Broadway denkt man, man wäre im falschen Film. Das Intro ist eine elektronische Version von "Alle Vögel sind schon da", die so klingt, als würde da jemand versuche mit einem kaputten Gameboy Musik zu machen. Mal was anderes! Nach 18 Sekunden Intro beginnt dann der Opener "Barely There".
Man werfe nun folgende Begriffe in den Raum: "Shouts", "clean Vocals", "Breakdowns", "metallastige Melodien". Na? Welchem Genre frönen wohl die Jungs von Bringing Down Broadway? Das dürfte ja nicht schwer zu erraten sein. Neben dem Genre kommt noch der Fakt dazu, dass die Band sich Jesus verschrieben hat und ihre Musik betont christlich ist - vor jeder Show wird dies auch explizit angesagt. Ja was soll man sagen? Die ersten Songs rauschen an einem vorbei wie ein D-Zug, der mit mittlerer Geschwindigkeit fährt. Die Übergänge der Songs sind fließend und so könnte man auch noch nach zehn Minuten denken, man wäre noch beim ersten Songs - so mannigfaltig gestaltet sich "It's All Gone South". Natürlich wäre es unfair ein Genre auf eine bestimmte Anzahl von Bands zu beschränken und dann noch anderen zu verbieten, dieses Genre für sich zu entdecken. Das soll hier auch nicht geschehen. Es wird nur wieder einmal deutlich, wie sehr es einigen Bands an Individualität mangelt und wie sehr man sich doch innerhalb der Szene kopiert.
Es gibt immer noch Bands in diesem Sektor, die das Genre weiterbringen und fördern - Darkest Hour zum Beispiel. Bringing Down Broadway allerdings stagnieren mit ihrer Musik und zeigen nichts Neues. Vielleicht will man jedoch das Rad gar nicht neu erfinden, sondern lediglich die Musik spielen, die man mag. Gut, selbst wenn es so wäre - das ist immer noch kein Argument sich näher mit dieser Band zu beschäftigen. Bevor es unerwähnt bleibt: mit "Paradise" ist natürlich auch ein Zwischenstück vorhanden, in dem mit seichten Melodien und cleanem Gesang für 1 Minute und 31 Sekunden ein Gang zurückgeschaltet wird, bevor es dann mit bei den letzten vier Songs wieder richtig zur Sache geht und man noch einmal ein treibendes Doublebassgewitter und die Staccato-Riffings zu hören bekommt. Einzige Ausnahme bietet hier noch der Song "Killing Compassion" der kurz vor der Mitte in jazzige Gefilde abgleitet - allerdings nur für ca. 35 Sekunden. Schade eigentlich, da hier doch eine gewisse, mögliche Individualität der Band gezeigt wird, die auf jeden Fall ausbaufähig ist.
"It's All Gone South" ist ein durchschnittliches Album einer versierten Band, die lediglich mehr an ihrem eigenen Stil arbeiten muss. Man darf hoffen, dass der nächste Longplayer deutlich mehr davon zeigen wird.
