We Caught The Castle - Self Titled EP
We Caught The Castle are a five piece hard pop-rock band from Reading and have recently released their debut E.P.
The band are female fronted which is something that is beginning to appear recently, I think having a female vocalist gives a band a fresh sound and that is definitely the case with We Caught The Castle.
Lips - The first track from the EP is Lips and opens up with real power and aggression which some bands fail to incorporate into their songs, throughout the track the band keep the same tempo. Vocalist Hollie really shows her talent in this track and gives the band the real wow factor, of course no band would be successful without the talented musicians behind the voice and the guys [Zak, Rob, Joe and Simon] are very capable of thrashing their instruments and brining iconic beats and riffs to the songs.
Say What You Want - This track starts off a little bit lighter and gradually explodes into a rock-pop masterpiece demonstrating the bands depth and creativity with catchy lyrics that will get you singing along and brilliant vocal work from Hollie, Simon and Rob they are a lot heavier than any other female fronted band I have heard of and really have the ability to be as successful as the likes of Paramore.
LayerCake - Opening with a real catchy riff this song starts off the lightest of both previous tracks and again incorporates great backing vocals along with another sterling performance from Hollie. LayerCake is probably the song that will find you singing along the most the lyrics really stick in your head. The song demonstrates that the band can do more than just heavier pop-rock and that they can also do slower tempo'd songs and keep the brilliant consistency in their vocal and instrumental work.
In a whole We Caught The Castle are a true asset to the English music scene and should really be checked out when ever you have the chance. If you like bands like You Me At Six and The Blackout then I really think you will take kindly to these guys.
