The Color Morale are a 5-piece post-hardcore unit from Rockford, IL and on this album are comprised of:
Garret Rapp: Vocals
John Bross: Guitar/Vocals
Justin Hieser: Bass/Vocals
Ramon Mendoza: Guitar
Steve Carey: Drums
As pretty much every review regarding these types of albums state, post-hardcore and related genres (or subgenres, if you prefer) are becoming very crowded scenes. The mid 2000s brought with them hundreds of fresh faces, most of them typically young and occasionally talented. However, the majority of the music created by these new groups tended to lump together in a similar fashion, and became what we know as "generic".
To be reassured, The Color Morale are not victims of this curse. In fact, We All Have Demons is quite an interesting and refreshing, if not perfect, listen. The band certainly possesses talent, and while not completely original, they work with what they have to make something creative. We All Have Demons is a short listen, barely over 34 minutes, yet is compelling enough for a second, and third, (and fourth, blah blah blah) spin.

Overall, this album presents ten songs that are varied and have differences, yet flow well with their similarities. It promises major potential for these young men and possibly this genre as a whole. We All Have Demons is not perfect, but it is a fun experience and has lots and lots of promise.
