The three songs on their Reverbnation page are of the heavy alternative variety. There is a bit of a modern edge to the music, but not to the point that it sounds like a bland attempt to just follow trends. The grooves are heavy and catchy, the vocals range from smooth singing (male and female) to gruff growl\/screams, and the solid rhythm section adds to the music instead of fading into the background. \u201cCome To Me\u201d is a slower ballad-ish song that adds some variety to the other two driving tracks. But as an aging rocker I am glad to say that I found something more modern that I like to listen to. Here is hoping for a full length from this group.<\/p>\n[2011 Red Cord Records | Purchase: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcordrecords.com\" target=\"_blank\">redcordrecords.com<\/a>]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ep came to our attention through a post on our Facebook wall (yes, we do pay attention).
