Verdict (Rating): Power-pop with 'buzzing' guitars (70%)

These South Londoners got together in 2003 and played their first gig in May 2004. The band describe their music as striking a perfect balance between adrenalin and melody - raw edgy guitars support heart felt lyrics, backed by a biting and melodic rhythm section. The band are often compared to bands such as Foo Fighters, Manics and Longpigs.
Listening to the 4 songs on this EP I can see that Foo Fighters and Manic Street Preachers are valid comparisons (OK - I'm old - I've no idea who the Longpigs are!).
The EP starts of the modern power pop of "Over The Hill" where the guitar sound reminds me of Neil Young. "Wake Up Blind" in power pop light with buzzing guitars on the chorus. "Avalanche" has slightly more of an edge to it whereas "Ghostman" slows things right down at first but gradually builds up to more Neil Young style buzzing guitars during it's 9 mins. Maybe these guys are closet "prog-heads" with a track that length?
