Despite not necessarily being my cup of tea, this
is one of the best
underground Eps of this genre that I've heard in
a while. The genre in
question, is a light rock meets metal blend, something
around the Thrice
feel, with the removal of the occasional erratic
edge.
Although the opening track “Daughter of
the Sea” starts off gentle, it
eventually explodes into a fairly hard-hitting
grimey riff, but soon
levels off into a well-rounded song. Well paced,
and packed with
intricate twiddles and licks throughout, it's
a really well written song
that employs every rule from the book that they
teach you at light metal
school. So in that sense, you could argue that
this is really generic.
But the difference in Young Guns to other similar
smaller acts, is that
the EP is beautifully recorded, and everything
is tighter than the grip
of Beelzebub himself.
There's a slight Lostprophets edge to the inoffensiveness
of their music
despite it generally being quite an anger-fuelled
genre. But the thing
that is really ticking my boxes throughout this
brief melodic journey,
is the fantastic vocalist. He hits every note,
regardless of where it
falls on the scale, and doesn't feel any need
to perform any
gut-wrenching roars or screams. Good old fashioned
music.
The four track EP is an enjoyable taster of the
Young Guns, and finishes
with “In The Night,” a promisingly
catchy number.
If you're into light metal, and bands like Thrice,
then these are
definitely for you. If you like something tuneless
and packed full of
hectic screams, then firstly you need to question
yourself, and
secondly, this probably won't tickle your pickle.
But I've certainly
enjoyed it, and that's a surprise.
4/5
