It\u00a0creates a sense of tension and rush by combining a more college-rock-oriented vocal line with the raw nature of bands like The Melvins and Misfits. The performance gets personality and attitude from the vocalists&#8217; almost sarcastic\u00a0approach. After a short pause, the speed slows and a hazy guitar solo appears at 1:59. Despite being short, this section acts as a good bridge, giving the song a small opportunity to slow down before pushing ahead once more. The production is extremely rough and virtually do-it-yourself, which is an essential characteristic. The song&#8217;s strength lies in its thick wall-of-sound approach, which at times gives the impression that it is drone music performed exclusively on guitars. The listener gets shaken awake by this noise rock, which makes you question what type of guitar effects the performer is using&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"So Far From Heaven by The Bat Bridge\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1923572678&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a strong punk attitude and a harsh sound based in alternative rock, the track&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[365,290,4913],"class_list":["post-29566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-alternative-rock","tag-punk","tag-the-bat-bridge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29566","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29566"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29566\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29568,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29566\/revisions\/29568"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29566"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29566"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29566"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
