City Of Thieves

EP Review

A shit kickin' trio of original English lads with a world of rock n roll running through their veins!! This E.P screams for audience participation when it comes to live shows!!

Starting as they mean to go on with "Young Broken Heart".. Beast man riffage a tidy storyline with a hard hitting chorus that you WILL be shouting behind the steering wheel!

"Contagious" has got an underlying Southern draw to it and Jamie's dirty vocal tones fit right in! An audience headbanger for sure!

Will Richards hard hitting snare drum kicks off "Make em Pay"! Drum fills galore are tight as a corset on Henry VIII next wife! I've got a slightly sleazy Motley Crue vibe on this one! Short a sweet, 2:26 attacker!

My personal favourite.. "Fight fire with fire".. Savage riffage from Ben, double pedal demonised by Will and Jamie's vocal smashing your ear drums! Good hooks, riff city!! Thinking Clutch meet Airbourne in a bar fight!

Did someone mention Ed Sheeran? I say Ed just hired Robert Plant and the boys to put their Led weight on this one! Seriously! Check this out Zep fans! "BLOW"!

Last in the sextuplet of bangers, (No Pamela!) "Here Comes The Shot"! Jamie's vocals again, Killin it! Could quite easily have made it onto Airbourne's Boneshaker album! Nice rhythms, tidy drumming and another headbanger at a venue near you!!!
