#2218 Pretty Vicious - Cave Song EP

Man, dude sounds like Arctic Monkeys dude, and the band follows suit.

Like, I had to check to make sure this wasn't some side project.

And on paper they actually pull off the Monkeys' bracing attack, but they're missing some secret ingredient - the lyrical thorns? the surprising structural swerves? the believable bile? there's something subtly Nerf about the sound.

It's a game of inches, rock and roll - better luck next time 3/5
