The hard rock EP, when used correctly, can be a powerful tool, a
bludgeoning ax that doesn't concern itself with wasting time or space.
When you've got a handful of songs (five, in this case) within which
to say your piece, you better make 'em count. This Milwaukee band
doesn't waste a breath or a beat, rattling through these tracks by way
of craftily ragged grooves, slyly finessed guitars, and a rhythm
section that hits incredibly hard. It's this solid foundation that the
other members play off, wrenching the time signatures around a bit
while still maintaining the original intentions of the compositions.
While the group is clearly influenced by DC post-hardcore heroes of
decades past, they've updated the approach of their predecessors and
created something that needn't be defined by comparisons that
ultimately won't hold true. "New Demons," the EP's final number, is in
itself about four different songs. Give it a go; you'll be surprised
by where it starts and floored by where it ends.
