The glaswegian quartet storm into the mainstream with their second album Free, an outstanding resounding rock record with riffs that pack a huge punch.
On my first listen I have to be brutally honest I did have some incredibly terrible tinny speakers so only heard the smallest amounts of the immense depth the the album has to offer, after the first few listens on said speakers I was still happy with the sound, great riffs and the incredible Scottish vocals from Sam Mctrusty.
Tracks like Apocalypse renegade carry so much aggression in the chorus's that sometimes I'm worried that a bald Glaswegian man will jump out the headphones with a knife! Every instrument its laid out brilliantly giving each track lots of layers. Theres some slow moving great grunge tracks like "yes I was drunk" and "crash land" which has beautiful cello section thrown in for good measure, looking toward Biffy.
One of the highlights from the album for me is Serious Underground Dance Vibes its great, it reminds me of Nine Black Alps and the huge grunge feel that those bands had and its great to hear it still going now too, even if its masked under some serious dance vibes!
With singles like Make a Beast of Myself and Free they certainly are not showing the world their easy going side. Sonically the album moves along great, growing and powering through with little let up.
Its a great piece of music from a hard working four piece, I'm sure after another extensive tour and a busy festival season we shall hear more from them.
