What started as a side project for WA singer-songwriter Dan Cribb, former vocalist and bassist of The Decline, has become so much more since acoustic EP The Memories Last in 2013. Cribb, joined by Scott Connor (guitar/vocals) and Brennan Pagels (drums), have been chipping away at a follow-up to debut album As We Drift Apart in recent years, which is ready to be unveiled in June 2023. In the decade since The Memories Last, Dan Cribb & The Isolated have honed their songwriting and live show, teaming up with US-based muso Nick Diener (The Swellers) and Perth producer Troy Nababan along the way, resulting in the thoughtfully crafted songs on their new album ‘I’ll Follow You Anywhere’. These collection of songs bring together best elements of The Memories Last and As We Drift Apart, as well as split releases with Yotam Ben Horin (Useless ID) and Derek Grant (Alkaline Trio). facebook.com/dancribbmusic

DAN CRIBB & THE ISOLATED – I’ll Follow You Anywhere
Dan Cribb & The Isolated started as a solo project for WA singer-songwriter Dan Cribb, former vocalist and bassist of The Decline. But, along the way it became so much more and something really beautiful. Dan was joined by Scott Connor (guitar/vocals) and Brennan Pagels (drums),. This new opus contains eleven songs which continue with way they started. That means beautiful heartfelt emotional punk rock. There is lots of melody in this one, especially in vocal lines which are so sweet and some of the songs, like for example chorus of ‘The Best of Whatever’ brought goosebumps upon my skin while listening to the album. I must admit that I enjoyed listening this album as one whole, these songs stirred up something in me which brought smile to my face and that is definitely not often the case. Songs are mainly in mid tempo punk rock, so don’t expect fast hardcore melodic skate punk frenzy with this album, but there are lots of tempo changes, pop punk sensibilities and for all that is worth, great songwriting to top it all. Some of my other personal favorites on this one are: ‘Addicted For Life’, ‘Fade Away’, ‘Full Circle’. This one is a keeper!
