    What we have here will likely go down in history as the band’s magnum opus. It’s just so fucking massive and Netflix-level binge-worthy. Without a slow song or acoustic number, Brave Faces Everyoneis ten tracks of loud, abrasive rock music that should connect with anyone who’s life isn’t perfect.

    Brave Faces Everyone doesn’t have a bunch of easy answers either — it’s more a record of solidarity and mutual support than it is anything more prescriptive.

    Brave Faces Everyone feels like a defining moment for the band. By furthering their sonic template, they show just how they have grown into dynamic and articulate songwriters while retaining their ability to write rabble-rousing, shout-along choruses. What's more, Spanish Love Songs understand that even on the darkest, desolate morning there's hope to be had in waiting for the sun to come up.

    The band have put a lot of work into refining their sound and making it bigger, fuller and bolder. There's more harmony, texture and structure in every song, and the choruses are huge and uplifting.

    It’s okay to not be okay, and Spanish Love Songs celebrate that with no small amount of knowing grouchiness here. The result is an album that’s not perfect – but those who get it will fall in love with it.

    What a great, evolving band. With each of their releases becoming a little bit tighter and stronger it is such a refreshing thing to see inWhat a great, evolving band. With each of their releases becoming a little bit tighter and stronger it is such a refreshing thing to see in this genre. The lyrics are meaningful, and you can hear the passion and pain in the vocals. I always admire an album with an opening track that really hits you. This one has it.

    One of the most beautiful and well put together emo albums of the last few years.

I loved schmaltz which was my introduction to SLS since then i checked out their other stuff which i also really enjoyed and i think this might be their best work yet. The vocals are beautiful as always, the instrumentals are well put together with most of the time gorgeous guitar melodies and the lyrics are depressing, very realistic and overall just very well written. Its not for everyone but if you like pup or joyce manor you will most likely also like this… Full Review »

    This album touches deep emotions since the first track, the vocals are spectacular and everything seems to be perfectly recorded. Really enjoyable album though may hit a bit harsh.
