Decade - Brainfreeze

Video released August 2013


Let's begin this little review with me stating that I have no idea who this band is, I saw they were playing the Lock Up stage at Reading and Leeds and thought I'd give them a listen, while they wouldn't normally be my thing I did enjoy this track and you can see they're really working at what they're doing with a passion. With a sound a lot like A Day To Remember you can see that there's an audience ready for them, with a new album currently being recorded, Reading and Leeds festivals at the weekend and a support slot on Tonight Alive coming up in October you'll be seeing a lot more of them.

Rat Attack - A Bird in The Hand

Video released May 8th 2013


Rat Attack seem to have come from nowhere fairly fast, their debut EP 'Rat Attack' received a lot of extremely positive reviews from various music magazines including a four K rating from Kerrang! And by listening to this track you can see why. The band show a lot of passion for the music they're polaying, there's powerful vocals, a lot of energy and stage presence and heavy guitars and drums. With a sound a lot like older Kids In Glass Houses material the band will find a fan base extremely easily, and it's well deserved. If they keep churning out tracks like this they've got a very bright future ahead of them add that with appearances in festivals such as Reading and Leeds and Y Not they're on to a winner.

Mellor - In The Water

Video released October 31st 2012


Up and coming Reading based rock band Mellor return with their new track 'In The Water' and it's very Arctic Monkey-esque. The video, filmed within the town centre show's the band performing in a shop window emulating mannequins. This is one of two things, either a bit of a laugh calling them dummies or symbolizing them putting themselves on show. The track has the sound of a 90's rock band, with comparisons to Oasis easy to make, however there's a feel that they're go for a lot older theme here. All in all this track shows the band's talents brilliantly, they're eager show themselves off to people, which is seemingly working, giving them slots on the Redfest line up, a set at Camden Rocks and a few support slots at Barfly's Jubilee night.
