Defy All Reason - Every Second Counts - EP Review

Defy All Reason - Every Second Counts

Welsh hard rockers Defy All Reason sent us their debut EP 'Every Second Counts' to check out, here is what we make of the four track release. 

Track listing:

1 - Shake It 

2 - Behind Those Eyes

3 - Coming Home

4 - Blame It On The Luck and Rock 'n' Roll 

Shake it

Opening with a Riff that will knock you flat on your arse 'Shake It' blows the EP apart from the get go. Accompanied with a very grunge rock vocal style the band draw you in and immediately catch you on their hook, however I can't help but hear a slight hint of Nickelback in their guitar work, an influence on the band perhaps? 

Behind Those Eyes

The tempo gets knocked down a peg for the second track, demonstrating the bands ability to be flexible in their musical writing. Softer vocals and softer instrumental give the listeners something to sit down and relax with, that is until it kicks up a notch towards the end! 

Coming Home

Much more similar to 'Behind Those Eyes' with a softer tempo and vocal work compared to 'Shake It' if you had listened to both those tracks side by side you wouldn't believe they were performed by the same band! Incredible band depth and diversity. 

Blame It On The Luck and Rock 'n' Roll

Ending with a bang the band close off the EP with another thundering track with a faster tempo and different vocal style to the middle two tracks.

Defy all Reason have demonstrated great depth in their writing and producing process and if they can do this with each release I can see a bright future ahead for the band, an immaculate release.
