Album Review // (409) - Purple

The three-piece Texas rock band, Purple, has released its debut album, 409. The album serves as a great first full-length for the band, as it contains high-energy guitar chords and a mix of screaming and smoothing vocal ability. While the album contains these elements throughout the entire record, it’s also powered by a very free-spirited and an “I don’t care” mentality, making the album that much more fun.
