Heard of many angry rock bands from Burnham-On-Sea? Didn’t think
so because I haven’t either, well until I received a 4 track EP
from a band called Young Hollywood, looking at the EP cover you would
expect the band to be a melodic poppy punk band like an English version
of New found Glory but once you press play on the bands debut EP 'Shotdown',
it feels like a huge kick in the balls, as the EP starts off with fast
raw screamo vocals and fast shattering guitar riffs with an overall sound
of the gallows mixed with Ghost Of A Thousand.
The EP is fast and furious throughout from the opening screams of the
title track 'Shotdown' to the outro of the raw sounding 'We Have New Moves'.
The highlight to the EP has to be the introduction machine gun style drumming
of 'Is A Runaway' its the kind of drumming you would expect from a Joey
Jordison drum solo with his massive tower of drums, but instead a new
underground UK hardcore punk band delivers the brutal heaviness, Matthew
Aldus's vocals are in your face screams throughout the whole song sounding
like the man has had vocal training from the Gallows frontman Frank carter
and that’s how the vocals are for the 13 minutes that the EP is
on for.
If you are a fan of the Gallows you are going to totally love Young Hollywood,
the band have the ability to create some kick arse songs as they have
proved here on 'Shotgun' and they also have the brutal heavy sound that
should smash your ear drums into thousands of tiny pieces.
Young Hollywood are a band that I’ll be watching in 2008 and I doubt
it will be long before they embark on a tour with their main influences
the Gallows. In the meantime check out their debut EP 'Shotdown' and crank
the volume up and rock out whilst resisting bouncing off your bedroom
walls as trust me it will give you feeling to do so.
5/5
