MORPH: "Morph EP"
Indie 2009
Review by Alan Holloway,

I don’t usually like to review unsigned band’s EP’s, because if you make a habit of it you get a stupid amount of them thrust at you and it gets hard to get round to listening to them all. To this end, I like to pick and choose this sort of thing, usually after seeing a band live, and when I witnessed the force of nature that is Morph last week I just had to pick up their new 6 track.

For a self produced effort, the CD has a good, solid sound and decent design. It looks and sounds professional, which can be a tough job sometimes. Musically, it’s solid as a rock, full of monster riffs and some great hooks, broken up by the slower, atmospheric “Stanley” in the middle. Mark Pascall’s vocals stand up very well, which is impressive as poor vocals often let down self produced discs. With a full production behind him he’s gonna sound great. All six tracks show the huge potential that this band has, although they don’t convey how amazing they are as a live act. Still, this is certainly one of the best EP’s that you will find out there at the moment and comes highly recommended.
