Description
Vinnie Caruana, long known and respected in the punk community for fronting The Movielife and I Am The Avalanche announced the release of his debut solo LP. Titled ''Survivor''s Guilt'', this album will be released via Big Scary Monsters in the UK & Europe and on Equal Vision Records in North America.
While he may have been alone in writing these songs, however, ''Survivor's Guilt'' is not a solo record in the same way as Caruana's largely acoustic 2013 EP, ''City By The Sea'', was. On ''Survivor's Guilt'', Caruana plays acoustic and electric guitars, and enlisted the talents of I Am The Avalanche's Kellen Robson and Brett 'The Ratt' Romnes on bass and drums as well.
In addition, RX Bandits' Steve Choi was brought in to add instrumentation and sonic embellishments to ''Survivor's Guilt''.
The result is an album boasting ten incredibly compelling, multi-layered tracks that bear witness to the breadth of Caruana's all-encompassing musical vision.
''Survivor's Guilt'' is truly the creative culmination of Caruana's career to date - something that's extremely evident from the very first listen. While there are some songs that lean towards Caruana's punk rock roots, much of what's heard here is fresh and new.
