Review : “Leaving Home” an EP by Jordan Sawatzky

Now I'm not one to skim the realms of SoundCloud that often these days, but an upcoming artist by the name of Jordan Sawatzky from Spruce Grove, Alberta messaged me about an EP of demos he dropped on his SoundCloud page at the start of the year called "Leaving Home" and I found myself pleasantly surprised!
The vocals on the "Leaving Home" EP are fairly raw which really works in it's favor and makes this project feel that much more authentic. It perfectly captures the essence of what it was like to go from being a high school kid living at home, to beginning the journey of discovering who you are outside of those four walls.
Each track is high energy, and doesn't lose steam even once throughout the project.
Personally, i found it to be very nostalgic and reminiscent of the kind of Alternative Rock music I was listening to at that time in my life, and I wound up listening to the EP multiple times simply out of enjoyment while thinking about the good ol' days.
It’s definitely worth a listen! So be sure to check it out for yourselves. And keep an eye out for this guy in the future, rumor has it he’s looking for a band to play in!
