| No Need For Parachutes - Acro // Evade |
Leeds and Doncaster have conspired
to spawn this rock behemoth, like a couple of rock'n'roll parents having a baby
following angry sex on a black leather sofa. These four lads make a racket and
a half with opening track 'In Your Head' sounding like a turbo driven version
of Foo Fighters' 'White Limo' with monster truck tyres. Then 'Basecamp' comes
along all snarling and spitting like a speed metal version of Nirvana at their
grungy best. Title track 'Acro Evade' has a Red Hot Chili Peppers feel to it
before the guitars get turned up to 11.5 and the drums get beaten to within an
inch of their lives.
On 'Not For Too Long' go for full
on, balls to the wall, power chords that could move boulders and should be
performed on top of some rocky outcrop in the Grand Canyon before dropping down
to an intimate, Brian Molko verse. The EP closes with 'Trojan Horse' which is
either a reference to Greek mythology or safe sex for Red Rum. Either way, it's
a beast of a song with Reuben-esque riffs and an awkward sense of confidence.
Leeds seem to be the home of British rock at the moment and when it's this good
I don't hear anyone complaining....largely because the guitars are so loud.
