Hundred Year Storm


Hello From the Children of Planet Earth

"Here’s to new beginnings | Here’s to a new start." As if to toast their debut release on Floodgate Records/East West, Hundred Year Storm begins Hello From The Children Of Planet Earth by repeating this simple acclamation. And let me just say, “cheers!” Keeping in step with their self-titled 2004 EP, this Texas band produces a sound that tugs on so many genres that what is created seems to be emotion in motion. The use of sound clips over exploding guitars, like on the closing “Pilot’s Last Broadcast,” help to fuel this emotion. “Yesterday, We Had It All” plays like the typical love song, while the nine minute track “The Golden Record” plays like a soundtrack to discovery, balancing the fine line between finding something terrible and something terribly beautiful. It’s this seeking throughout the record that just might make this new beginning a fruitful one.
