Three Years Hiding - Stories EPThree Years Hiding - Stories

Three Years Hiding are a young four piece band from Redditch, South Birmingham. The band have spent most of 2006 touring around the UK playing their melodic rock in so many different towns and venues gaining them a loyal fan base. The band have just released their debut ep, 'Stories'

'Stories' is a well written and well produced ep. The vocals are strong and clear and the choruses are pretty melodic. The ep starts off with 'Down Up Left A Right Down', which is musically a very good song and so catchy you will find yourself humming along after a few listens. Songs like this really show how talented these guys are especially having an average age of just 18.

The title track to the ep 'Stories' is another pretty catchy song especially in the chorus. 'Listen Learn Save Yourself' starts off with a slight change in vocals as they seem more soft and mellow but build up to yet another big catchy chorus.

'Untitled' finishes the ep off and has a twenty second intro before the vocals come in, the guitars and bass are pretty mellow throughout, but there is a good assault of drum beats.

The ep clocks in at about twenty minutes long in total and is a really good ep but it feels like I have heard it all before in bands like The Starting Line and The Ataris etc, which seems to be a common problem for English bands sounding to much like there American idols.

3.5/5
