It sounds great loud, it sounds great in the background &#8211; it fits anywhere in your day &#8211; particularly with a shot of espresso and a quick kitchen mosh. The melodies are catchy and memorable, the main vocal is delightfully refreshing &#8211; with an original edge that is cool and confident. The vocal harmonies and backing vocals have a happy go lucky Beach Boys vibe. This is ideal start the party music, and they seem like genuinely nice guys; very energetic, enthusiastic, and extremely talented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&#8216;P.a.l.s&#8217; is possibly my favourite track on the EP &#8211; hints of a deeper meaning start to surface. Not just a pop rock band with punk influences; they have big thoughts, they don&#8217;t hold back. It&#8217;s a no filter classic rock and roll vibe &#8211; &#8220;You&#8217;re ready when you hear the sound&#8230;&#8221; More than just great music, all the lyrics on this EP intrigue me &#8211; I&#8217;d love to interview these guys. &#8216;King Of White Chips&#8217; asks &#8220;Do you think I&#8217;m lazy&#8221; This is not just &#8216;fun music&#8217; any more, I&#8217;m tangled up in thought &#8211; is this line a basic rock lyric for anthemic effect, or a genuine anxiety?? Either way, they have my full attention and this is a really, really great track. &#8220;I don&#8217;t wanna be left with nothing. Do you know what it means to fall apart?&#8221; By this point I&#8217;m hooked in and headed to their Facebook page. Really exciting music &#8211; can&#8217;t wait to catch these guys at a live show if they make it to the UK soon &#8211; a sure fire ticket to a fun night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Luck, Now&#8217;s music grabs you by the wrist and drags you into an addictively melodic mosh pit. According to the boys in the band &#8211; &#8220;Everything is proudly self-produced in a cave&#8221; Well, that seals the deal &#8211; what&#8217;s not to like?!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think we should all be friends with these guys immediately.
