Survivor's Guilt

Vinnie Caruana, long known and respected in the punk community for fronting The Movielife and I Am The Avalanche releases his debut solo LP. Titled Survivor''s Guilt, this album is released via Big Scary Monsters in the UK and 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.
