The Rocket Dolls are a brand new trio hailing from
Brighton, they are an alternative grunge-rock band
who take the dirty riffs of the Zico Chain mixed
with the polished sound of Slaves To Gravity to
come up with their own blend of grunge-rock and
they are due to release their debut EP ‘Frame’
towards the end of January 2010.
‘Frame’ is an 4 track EP which was
recorded in Leveller’s studio and mastered
by Ace of Skunk Anansie and it is a shit hot release
that features a lot of anthemic charge and is
best listened to with the sound wacked up to maximum.
The EP opens with the title track ‘Frame’
and it kicks in with a massive squealing piece
of guitar work, with Nikki Smash’s lead
vocals coming in seconds later sounding very much
like the vocals of Drowning Pool back in the day,
the song flows really well with great instrumental
work which is driven by big riff after big riff,
towards the later part of the song everything
goes silent whilst Ben Knopfler bashes his drums
with the rest of the band coming back in 10 seconds
later for the climax of the song.
‘Broken’ opens with some simple drum
beats, the guitars then start to charge up with
slow paced riffs which slow progress into something
a little more upbeat and promising; the vocals
are loud and gritty like grunge should be.
The highlight of the EP is ‘Bleeding The
Shame’ , the song is a big kick-arse song
from start to finish with meaty guitar riffs,
fast paced drumming, catchy bass lines and dirty
yet catchy sounding vocals that come along stronger
than on any of the other songs on the EP.
‘Delirium’ is a big sounding song
instrumentally with some squealing guitar solos;
vocally the song is quite catchy and overall proves
to be the perfect closing track to such a top
EP.
It’s good to know that bands such as The
Zico Chain, Slaves To Gravity and now The Rocket
Dolls are taking the grunge scene by storm and
showing the rest of the world that England is
the new birth place of grunge; The Rocket Dolls
have the potential to go far.
5/5
