EP REVIEW: Big Tall Shadows - It's only make believe.

It’s Only Make Believe, the debut EP from Big Tall Shadows, is a striking and deeply personal introduction from a band unafraid to wear its heart on its sleeve. Across four emotionally charged tracks, the record explores themes of inner turmoil, grief, loss, and ultimately resilience, with the frontman’s powerful vocals serving as the emotional anchor throughout.

From the haunting vulnerability of the title track It’s Only Make Believe to the stormy introspection of Darkest Skies, each song offers an honest glimpse into battles with depression and self-doubt. If I Forget Tomorrow continues the journey with poignant reflection and a sense of cautious hope, while Waiting For You closes the EP on a heartfelt and uplifting note, capturing the strength found in perseverance and connection. Musically compelling and lyrically sincere, It’s Only Make Believe is a memorable debut that showcases Big Tall Shadows’ ability to transform personal struggles into relatable, moving songs.

Rock Out Rating: 8/10.
