Attention, All Mankind.

Music Genre: Alternative

By: Josh East

Another hushhush ATTACK! deliverable got my attention this past week. The band All Mankind, out of Sydney Australia, has been compared to Coldplay by a few editorial reviews. Though, I do see why journalists and social network communities like to alarm the ‘sounds like’ bell, hoping for fans to latch on to the viewed subject, the band members of All Mankind have their own heart and soul with a handful of must hear music running through their veins. Particularly with their current single titled “Can You Hear Me”, which instantly took me on a cathedral moment with its what sounded like an organ intro from overdubs of guitar swells, effects and electronic bow, turned into a beautiful (yes, beautiful) lyrical piece of work. Lead singer Rich Beeston takes you on a spirit-filled rollercoaster ride, lyrically balanced with ying & yang, perfect for pop-cultures constant seeking of revolution, revival and remorse. Yeah, I can hear ya Rich.

The allmankind website says this song is doing the rounds on various US radio stations. I'm not surprised. Hooky, lyrically engaging & with a strong backbone, plus it clocks in well under 4mins - a no brainer for radio really.

These guys are amazing! I love every song I've heard - the lyrics are deep but catchy and musically they always gel together. They just keep getting better, I can't wait for another album...

This is the first I've heard of All Mankind, but I really like what I hear. Video looks cool too - hopefully they'll tour the US soon!
