Album Of The Day: Live Vol. 1 by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's Live Vol. 1 album - A black-and-white photo of four men huddled together around one microphone in a mostly dark area, definitely very black behind them and mostly lit from the right side. The two men on the outsides are the most visible, and they are both wearing button-down shirts and dark pants. The person close to the microphone is mostly in the dark, but has a guitar hanging around his neck and he's not playing it, he's got his arms around his bandmates. In the middle mostly in the dark is one of the young man with his face in the chest of his band-mate, his brother. In the darkness above them is printed the band name in large, bold letters in a creamy white. Below it much smaller letters it says 'Volume 1'.

Released 5 years ago today, this is the first live album by rock band Colony House. In early 2020, they released their third album and started touring the world, but then the world shut down in March and they could not tour. Thankfully, they had recorded some of their shows and decided to put together this album that captures the energy of their live shows. With 18 tracks including a acoustic medley of songs, they perform many of their songs from their first 3 albums, have some fun jams and guitar and drum solos, and do a cover of The Ramones's "Blitzkrieg Bop" too. Colony House are the band I've seen the most in the last 10 years and one of my favorite bands. They put on a quality show, and it's fun to have that energy and crowd interaction to listen to at home or on the go.
