According to their official website, The Requisite’s recent single “Hang On” was recorded and produced with Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday, The Color Fred, Terrible Things). That tracks, because the hyper-melodic, emo-heavy tune sticks in your head like a dart and then, once firmly embedded, won’t allow your brain to rest.
Emotions are tossed around like a broken frisbee, as they sing, “maybe I’d be better off alone.” Awwww, c’mon guys! “Take a Minute” and “Forward” are equally draining, as we’re led by the hand through the band’s deepest, darkest subconscious. Emo, it appears, is alive and thriving.
