EP Reviews

Trevor Meyer and Thomas Heun’s musical relationship beggan at school as musical rivals in competing bands. Since then they have joined forces and now form the songwriting team behind The Jobs, with Marc Barone on bass and Jon Schlote on drums. Their new EP ‘Sailing Upon the Times’ has already been well received, with several singles being released in anticipation of the EP introducing a new wave of followers to their sound since their debut release back in 2015.

Michael Barnes deput EP ‘Ghosts’, featuring his debut single of the same name, has been years in the making, and clearly over that time Michael has been inspired by his many great musical influences to create something drenched in style and tone. Throughout the four tracks Michael blends together modern, electric indie music with iconic synth sounds of the 80s, giving the EP a sense of familiarity and heritage.

Today we’re bringing you the debut EP ‘Tranquil in Turmoil’ from Birmingham based artist and producer, Brad. With all of his material being based upon original ideas formed in his Bedroom studio, this EP particularly draws on personal experiences and everyday problems, which are reflected not only in his lyrics but also the general tone of the music.

Wrexham band Jonny Ash released their debut EP entitled ‘Blurry Vision’, including four songs: The faster and more upbeat ‘MDMA’ and the heartfelt, uplifting and quite frankly extremely impressive ‘Brother’, as well as the two previously released singles; ‘Rosies’ and ‘Eclipse’, the latter of which contains the lyrics which provide the eponym of the EP. A review of the two respective singles can be found by clicking the song titles.

The young Reading-based alternative rock band Phantom Booth have released a new EP 'The Bath Sessions'.

After such a turbulent and unpredictable week for music, with new Coronavirus restrictions cancelling shows and Rishi Sunak infamously calling on musicians to “retrain”, an EP entitled 'Shine On' seems way too optimistic for the times we live in. Yet, George Rowlands’ latest release is a reminder of the beacon of hope that grassroots music represents in the performing arts sector, with a versatile blend of anthemic guitar riffs and chilled ballads.

I never thought an album could sway my beliefs but today, a day I’ve enjoyed in self isolation, an aptly named band predicted the future in knowing I would be back to listen again ‘In Earnest.'

Wow, there maybe a lot wrong with the world right now, but this particular gem is definitely not one of them!

Funeral Lakes have released their new EP 'Golden Season'. It includes three emotionally charged songs and is a follow up from last year's self- titled debut album.

If 'Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino' and David Bowie had a baby, 'The After Hours' EPwould be the end product.

This is the debut EP from Aidan Tulloch and sees the artist embrace a lot of different genres, from electronica to indie pop. In this EP, Aidan is very nostalgic looking back at the innocent nature of youth.
