Even Heroes Need a Parachute
Forefront Records
Musically the debut record of up-and-coming Ohio band This Beautiful Republic is a talented tapping of the vein made popular by bands like My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy. It has straining, sentimental melodies, a quick tempo, slick effects, occasional screams and breakdowns galore.
Lyrically it is obvious these boys love the Lord and want Him in their lives.
If the 11 songs of “Even Heroes Need a Parachute” are an indication of things to come — that is, if the band can maintain this level of energy and emotion — then This Beautiful Republic will likely be a Christian rock mainstay for as long as they want to be.
