Press Reviews When I first came across this band, I assumed they would be like any other modern-day music story – boys want to be in a band, boys start a band, boys fail to achieve fame and fortune, boys end-up in a job they would rather not be doing. What I came to realise, was that these young Yorkshire men had used their punk/rock-inspirations to their advantage, so I soon believed that they had the capability to reach their goals. The techniques used on the EP shows how the lads have come together and, unlike most new instrumentalists, how well their music sounds as a whole. The tracks and how they are laid out give an idea to the listener that this is not just another musical-collaboration destined to fail, but one that opposes the theory that the punk/rock genre is the most formidable to take on. The three tracks are different, as would be expected, but they also feel right together. For example, In Amber is a song, which gives off the feeling of despair in the words, as if somebody’s stuck and struggling - despite the major-key in which the song is played. However, the answers to their problems are found. Home fits in well and is the right choice as the next track and as can clearly be heard in the singing, desperation is a key role; there is a great need for the person to be, believe it or not, home and safe – exactly like the start of In Amber. In Crushed Farewell, the band wanted a slight change, one can assume. Instead of the problems for the one person in the first two songs, we realise that the next song’s about someone’s “broken point of view” - that it’s too late for everybody. A change, however slight, was well placed and makes the EP, in my opinion and in the opinion of many friends and fans of the group, a success. Despite brief losses of rhythm on one or two occasions, the EP is a fantastic start to a band with the ability to make something happen for them and the people around who have supported them from the beginning.
