Passionate vocals and memorable guitar hooks set Boiling Point apart from the status quo. More importantly, what keeps people coming back is the band's emotional depth and willingness to be real with their fans through their songs, their live performances and their life's example.

Since the release of their debut project Rules Of The Broken back in 2010, the men known as Boiling Point have taken to audiences all over the U.S. Having opened for big names acts such as Switchfoot and Thousand Foot Krutch at various summer festivals, the four-piece ensemble is a rising talent looking to spread authentic messages of hope through their honest lyrics.
Following a short EP in 2012, the band's latest effort, More, promises to deliver more of the power packed truths they are known for, while musically, highlighting yet another chapter in their sonic evolution.
Right off the bat, the listener will discover that this an album full of solid pop/rock anthems. Songs like "Brand New Day", "One Day" and the single "When You've Lost It All" all paint a marvelous portrait of this band's defining sound. Pairing well composed harmonies alongside the strong penmanship they're already known for.
Channeling the vibe of old-school Goo Goo Dolls, "Leave It All Behind" runs with their encompassing message of hope, encouraging listeners to let go of past hurts and run towards the only love than can fill the empty void in their souls.
"Put Your Hands Up" carries the grittiest sound on the record, and with lead vocalist Eric Bjorklund's thick and raspy vocals dominant throughout, I feel as if sticking with this style of edgier rock would do this band a lot of good. Not to mention, this will be a stellar track to enjoy live.
Throwing in the use of some light synthesized elements, the worshipful "Reason" comes as a pleaful prayer for God to help find our purpose in this life.
"Ordinary Girl" tells the common story of a woman looking to others to validate her, only to discover that the acceptance she's been desperately seeking has been with herself the whole time: "You are pretty when you don't pretend, you're radiant in your own skin / You're beautiful when you're yourself, you're beautiful like no one else."
Closing Thoughts:
Boiling Point has a crazy amount of potential as a band. While dated production makes it very clear that they are still trying to establish roots within their chosen genre, with More, I believe they've struck the right chord. Songwriting wise, this is one of the best indie releases I've heard in a very long time, and I'm eager to hear how their talents grow as their lives progress, both personally and professionally. I hope to hear more from Boiling Point in the near future!

Love Their Music| Posted February 03, 2015
Brand New Day is my favorite song by Boiling Point! Their music is so fun. They sound a little like Hawk Nelson meets Switchfoot. They offer a little something for everyone's tastes. If you like music, you should check out this album!
