Dead Retinas - Gang of Wolves - EP Review

Dead Retinas
Gang of Wolves
Mancunian punk metal quartet Dead Retinas are back with a bang with their brilliant, eagerly anticipated EP titled "Gang of Wolves". 

A release almost as colourful as the beautiful cover art that accompanies it (see above image). Dead Retinas have really thrown the wolf amongst the pigeons with this 6 track masterpiece. 

Gang of Wolves gives the band the chance to really show their teeth (how many wolf related comments can we include in this piece?) A band that haven't necessarily had the chance to show the world their true capabilities as of yet but still put their heart into every release and it really shines through in the EP. 

Track Listing: 
1 - Snow
2 - Crowns on Hounds 
3 - Just Because You Drink Jack Daniels Doesn't Mean You're Rock 'n' Roll 
4 - LSD (Listen Smile Disagree) 
5 - Pure Gold 
6 - Gang of Wolves 

There is a strong vocal display throughout the EP and it is accompanied by flawless instrumental input, with no faults found in the EP I think it is safe to say that the band have mastered their own sound and know exactly what they are and are not capable of. 

Gang of Wolves may very well be the release that propels the band into stardom or at least help them gain some more exposure across the scene. If their live performance can mimic their recording capabilities then the band have every shot of breaking through the scene and we really hope they do it!

We highly rate Dead Retinas and we can not wait to hear more of their howling.
