Of all the things to choose as an aesthetic choice, Give decides to have an obsession with flowers. I suppose that it serves as contrast, because their music isn't flowery as much as it Self Defense Family-esque hardcore with a particularly groovy edge to it. Despite clearly being influenced by the likes of the family, Sonic Bloom is a wonderfully executed and very fun EP that can be played again and again with little trouble. The standout moments include "Learning To Die", which has a guitar tone that has a distinct groove on it, and "Eat The Rainbow", as the bass is absolutely infectious as well as the chorus. In all, this is a pretty awesome little post-hardcore EP. If you enjoy the family in any capacity, check these guys out.
