Coupling the vocal work with the instrumentals, this LP may give a good amount of competition for Album of the Year and it will only be the first week of January 2015. The issues dealt with in the lyrics are the same, but the feel and acoustic sound of the new album leaves one with the impression, nothing remains the same forever. The vocals are also clear and showcases Jags voice, which possesses a wide range, spanning over three octaves. The shared duties of Miller and Simmons is impressive and Jagmin’s guitar playing is inspiring.Ī Skylit Drive – Save Me Tragedy (Acoustic) Sometimes it can be easy to forget the level of ability the people playing on stage may have.

The musical arrangements accompanying the scores are clean and easy to hear the complexities of the songs.

The modified acoustic album is very smooth. The track listing for Rise: Ascension is: 1. The band stated their fifth studio album, will be released this coming summer. The newly reworked album is scheduled to drop on with Tragic Hero Records. They also enlisted producer Jim Wirt (Incubus, Something Corporate) who worked with the band on Rise at Crushtone Studios in Cleveland, Ohio. The new three piece group re-worked the pieces into standalone compositions featuring piano, cello, bass, and other assorted instruments. A Skylit Drive didn’t just do this album to possibly fulfill the current record deal. By all reports, the response from the fans was positive and the demand to hear more was certainly there. Ri se: Ascension is the product of testing the dynamics of their songs by way of releasing several videos, featuring Jagmin and Miller, performing the tracks acoustically. They turned it into a completely acoustic album. They took the 2013 release, Rise, and did what many of their peers might be afraid to do. The remaining members, Michael “Jag” Jagmin (Vocals), Nick Miller (Guitar), and Kyle Simmons (Bass/Keyboards), have handled it in a mature and artistically sophisticated manner. The one time five piece, lost Brian White and Cory La Quay as they departed from the band in October.

Lodi, CA, rockers and Warped Tour veterans, A Skylit Drive, are ending the year looking and feeling different since the start of 2014. All three of these elements can be found with A Skylit Drive. Life is about growing up, dealing with the changes that happen, and moving on.
