SCOTLAND LIVE - BANDS TO WATCH!!

MILLSYECK - Once Clean Twice Dirty CD-EP


The CD opens with “Looking After Number 1”, as classic a slice of seventies-esque blues-metal-rock as they come, the addictive guitar riffs, the solid bass, the driving drums and heated,impassioned vocals all leading into this hugely uplifting, inspirational chorus that's got everything from Foghat to Guns 'n' Roses written all over it, so that the long it goes, the more you're carried along in its heady and headbanging glories, but at the heart of it all, a sea of guitars, a seriously on-fire lead guitar break, strong sounding, emotive vocals, immense rhythms, a mighty chorus, an addictive hook and a band performance that's simply breathtaking as one of the band's best songs to date simply explodes into your life With a burst of searing heat lead guitar, this band of Dundee's finest contemporary indie blues-rockers take off into “Jumpin' In The Grave” with a vengeance as pumping bass, thundering drums and rhythm guitar riffing all combine at breakneck blues-rock speed, the solid, emotive, gritty vocals of lead singer and lead guitarist Alex Mills, delivering one sneer of a vocal that really races along with passion and a raw emotion that's just sensational. The whole thing drives headlong into this multi-tracked vocal chorus that takes off like a rocket in a blaze of guitar-driven glory as it reaches the upper atmosphere before entering the stratosphere and filling it with harmonies, choruses, guitars and red hot rhythms, bringing sizzling hot blues-rock into a new, exciting and refreshing life. Finally, there's “Not What You See” is heavier and more mid-paced, allowing the almost Pete Townsend-esque guitar riffs to spark out like solar flares as that awesome bass pumps out and the drums thunder once again, this time at a more deliberate pace. The vocals initially emerge as a wordless holler before the twin guitars join forces for a sea of cyclical riffs that are absolutely electrifying. The vocal sounds seriously menacing as the choppy rhythms stride out under this sea of blazing, clipped, electric guitars riffs. Ultimately the vocal lifts off into a high-flying hook as the intensity and density of the arrangement and singing all rise, while the rock solid vein of guitars and rhythms continues unabated at the heart of the track. There's a real feeling of evil intent to a track that is both uplifting and venomous at the same time. There's a red hot guitar break that just glows against the driving beats and the ferocious rhythm guitar before the verse-as-chorus rocket-rides to the skies as more searing heat lead guitar take the song to an abrupt end. Three awesome tracks – get them now!!!
