I think it's important that you know that it's been a while since I heard a CD from a Scottish unsigned band that swings as well as it scythes, and rocks as well as it drives, but the opening track on this EP has you leaping around the room the first time you hear it as though you'd greeted it like an old favourite. The drums just roll all over the place while the bass throbs and that sea of guitars creates this wall-to-wall blast of riffing before dropping back to reveal almost sixties-esque echoed rock 'n' roll vocals as the guitars drop to a jangle and the rhythm section lurch forward, only then for the whole band to rise up into this huge addictive chorus. It's awesome stuff turned way up loud, as the guitars roar and growl like caged tigers under the command of the impassioned lead singer and those huge sounding rhythms. The whole thing just drives and powers ahead, only then for the icing on the cake to come along in the form of this high pitched sting of a guitar break that sees the track to its conclusion – and all you want to do is play it over – and over. But, for now, that treat will have to wait, as we move on to “Cold” which opens with a throaty blues-rockin' vocal over equally incendiary bluesy lead guitar, so emotive and oozing quality blues from every pore. Then, wiuth a blast of drumming, a pounding bass and a density of guitar riffing, the song glides forward into a solid, mighty lurch of an arrangement with the vocals swinging back and forth while th elead guitar takes off above the sea of riffing intensity and this swing of a song veers from intense to atmospheric, via a chorus that's right out of the classic blues-rock songbook as it all roars ahead in mighty mid-paced fashion and another song drives right into your head and heart and refuses to leave. There's even another scorching guitar break to end the song and that's a winner in anyone's book. Finally, there's “Desert Song”, a song I once criticised the band for playing the first time I saw them live in concert, but how times have changed. It's now this tower of a demon of a song with one surging sea of guitars driving headlong into a rolling blues-rock rhythm section lurch as the languid but forceful vocals croon on top of this wild guitar undercurrent and solar flare lead breaks. It's got a real sleazy quality at the same time as being one incendiary song and arrangement that's guranteed to have the hairs standing up at the back of your neck every time you hear it, and it has to be said that this is one awesome song – those guitars !!! - just unbelievably brilliant as it all roars ahead with purpose and conviction, increasing intensity, powering out and the sort of song that I could listen to from now till I die – which, if I keep playing this as loud as I have it on now, won't be too long away!! A mighty, mighty gem of an EP – you have to buy this – like, yesterday!!!
