Northern New Jersey based band A Door with No House released their latest heavy hitting single "Ojos Rojos" on October 5th, 2018. It was recorded at Backroom Studios with Dillinger Escape Plan guitarist Kevin Antreassian (super cool)! You can definitely hear his influence on the track. The group consists of Maya Deutch (lead vocals), Dan Kinney (bass and vocals), Adam Oates (drums and vocals) and Jason Carprioni (guitar). They have been making music for a year and a half and like to blend genres that usually do not go together. So far, they've played at some well known venues such as The Stone Pony, Stanhope House, Brighton Bar and The Knitting Factory (Brooklyn, NY). Their influences include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, A Day To Remember, Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold.
The song starts off with the guitar and bass playing the same quickly strummed notes while the drums come in with cymbal swells. One guitar is panned left and the other right. The bass is funky, slinky and shimmering. Kinney's tone is reminiscent of Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Justin Chancellor's (Tool) playing. Deutch's strong and dry vocals make their appearance 10 seconds in. The guitars turn slightly more distorted and the upbeat chords have a reggae inspired vibe. The bass switches to playing chords from the opening riff. The verse continues to build into the heavy pre-chorus section with some epic screams contributed by Oates. The chorus consists of blistering guitar, heavy pounding drums and thundering bass.
The second verse is similar to the first with little variation, but there is some added clean guitar in the background (2:12). The vocal harmonies around 3:25 are spot on and fit well with the groove. The desert rock inspired section/breakdown (3:35-4:03) is aggressively funky. Oates nailed that crazy ending scream and the section following is the most metal inspired part of the song. The dreamy section with the reverb drenched guitar creates the sense of endlessly floating through space and time. I love the ending horn section, which adds some Spanish flare. The production is very clean, but I wish the drums were more pronounced at times. All in all, this song rocks and I cannot wait to hear more from these guys in the future. Go check them out live and follow them on social media! Cheers!

Score: 7.5/10
