The vocals are captivating and sincere and the guitar work is energizing and heartwarming at the same time. There may not be a lot of bells and whistle to the songs but there is a certain honesty found within it’s simplistic nature that pulls the listener in. They work great either overlapping like on Radio, trading off lines like in the beautiful Thanks, Claire or all by themselves.Īt times they sound like The Frenetics, other times it feels like they’re taking a page out of Bright Eyes‘ book (see Wake Up for an example) and sometimes they fall between Lucero and Chuck Ragan. The vocals compliment one each perfectly as Laura Fidler’s vocals are reminiscent of Rachel Minton if she broke out in the early nineties and Bill Manning sounds like Conor O’berst if he swallowed a couple razor blades to rough up the vocal chords a little bit.

The sound is raw, simplistic and harsh with lightning fast strumming that is crisp and clear. Just a guy and a girl singing alongside a plugged in guitar, The New Dress leave little to be dissected yet explode through the speakers with force. Where Our Failures Are is a minimalist combination of folk and punk. Brooklyn’s duo The New Dress are one of those bands as they carry on the folk-punk flag but with a much heaviest emphasis on the folk side of it as opposed to the punk side like Against Me! does. Some bands, however, are trying to take the style in a new direction and are actually adding some originality into it. With the rise in popularity for Against Me!, a sea of copycats have come trying to capitalize on the sound. Folk punk has become a common trend as of late.
