But a single endorsement alone does not a band make; the band, of course, has to stand on its own merit. And the Denton-based Seryn proves quite capable on that front, displaying a maturity far greater than its eight-month-old existence would imply. Nowhere else is this baby band's promise more evident than in its rousing anthem, "We Will All Be Changed."

The song starts off innocently enough as a catchy folk pop ditty with its pretty acoustic flourishes and hints of mature vocal harmonies. Then, just over a minute into the song--quite suddenly-- there's a change of pace, one that juxtaposes the beautiful folk of the song's start with a rousing, chant-along chorus. On record, it's makes for a fine device. Live, however, it serves as an instant wake-up call, providing a infectious energy surge to the band's surrounding environment.

It's clear enough from first listen that the musicianship and songwriting prowess is there with this new act, whose brief catalog showcases a heavy Arcade Fire influence in its decidedly less heavy fare. This exhilarating first impression serves too as a fine introduction to a band well worth keeping tabs on as it continues to grow, gaining both experience and exposure in the process.
