This classic 1990’s-sounding ballad, Lie, is a melancholy rock anthem with heavy guitar and drums backing strong and gravelly vocals.
With powerful guitar solos and a hard rock bridge, Blue Moon Harem‘s song reminds me of string-heavy ’90s bands such as Nickleback and Soundgarden.
The vocalist has a husky voice, that reminds me of Collective Soul‘s vocalist Ed Roland in their song The World We Know. Blue Moon Harem‘s vocals are emotionally-charged and compliment the band’s rock genre well.
This Boston-based band has a high production value, and their songs are certainly enjoyable to listen to.
I imagine Lie is the kind of song I would play in the car on the way to a concert or high-energy music festival – you can hear the band are genuinely putting their all into their performance, and it’s contagious!

I think this movie has everything in it – a compelling love story, fantastic action scenes and Ben Affleck *swoon*. You also can’t go wrong with a rough Boston accent either!
A story about a town in Boston named Charlestown. Where, for some, bank robbery is a way of life and treated as an art handed down through the generations.
In the first robbery of the film, a masked Doug (Ben Affleck) is calming Claire (Rebecca Hall) who is franticly opening the safe, while the rest of the robbers intimidate the hostages.
A few days after the robbery, Doug ‘bumps into’ the woman to see how much she knows about the robbers and what she’s told the police. Which, I thought was a super cool part of the film. By getting close with one of the few witnesses Doug had the inside scoop of how far off the police were.
Anyway, she basically falls in love with Doug – who, little does she know, was responsible for one of the most traumatic experiences of her life.
I like movies where you’re on the side of the ‘badies’. Kind of like in Gone Girlwhere I found myself rooting for the mad killer. It was the same as in this film – I was backing the robbers the whole time. but what The Town did differently was that they went a step further and villainised the ‘goodies’ – the police.
It’s a thorough insight into a vastly different culture. The robbers are brutal, tough, but incredibly loyal toward each other.
Doug: I need you to do something with me. I can’t tell you why, you can’t ask me about it after and we’re gonna hurt people.” Jem: Whose car we gonna take?
God, but bloody Affleck. Being the main character, director and one of the writers, OF COURSE he had to write himself a saucy love scene. Boys, eh!
Lovable, exciting – yet violent – characters, a believable love story with fantastic action sequences between uplifting scenes. A cool twist to the average cold, stale bank robbing film. I like how, although it is scary and violent and intense, it’s still personable and emotional.
