‘Bones’ E.P. - The Bastard Sons
The Bastard Sons are a band from York that formed in early 2011. They describe their sound as ‘dirty rock and roll’. They started playing a few gigs in their home town and then were shortly approached by the record label Lockjaw Records. They then went on to create their debut E.P. ‘Bones’.
‘Bones’ consists of 6 songs which define their genre and lifestyle completely; what a way to start off a music career with a hard hitting record. The whole E.P. flows really nicely. The first song, ‘Hot Town’, starts with all the band shouting and then kicking into the song with some power chords that come at you quite violently; it really gives the start of the record a live feel. The second song, ‘Soul Fur Coat’, is extremely guitar and drum driven. The Vocals on this track differ from singing to screaming quite frequently, which draws you into the song a lot more. The guitar solos just fill the song up and make it an all-round awesome tune!
The track ‘We never saw the sun’ starts off with some drums then going into a guitar riff which has slight hints of influence from the band Bullet For My Valentine. The song after kicks straight into it with loud vocals and a guitar riff to back it up the song; ‘In Case Of Emergency’ really grabs your ear’s attention! ‘Therapists Get All The Girls’ starts with a tom drum intro and has quite a slow tempo compared to the other tracks on the album but still keeps up as the guitar techniques used make the song huge! The Last song, ‘Salem’s Rot’, is a really good song to finish of an E.P as it is slightly different to the tracks earlier on - the guitar introduces and sets out the whole song which gives hints of AC/DC. You can really connect with songs riffs and lyrics.
Overall ‘Bones’ is defiantly a record worth listening too. With hints of different bands throughout the whole E.P. you can tell that The Bastard Sons are going to be huge.
