Hailing from Norwich, this three piece outfit that has been around for several years now have stepped up their game with this their latest EP release. Booking time in a professional studio has paid off as the Norfolk lads bounce through six classy sounding cuts. There is certainly an indie rock feel throughout with Ben Lawrence's vocals carrying a pleasant haunting edge. Pop influences that will appeal to a teen audience however can also be heard with some upbeat key sections. "A+B Chemistry" demonstrates the variety of sounds that they experiment with throughout the recording. "Reaction" also has a diversity of electric sounds that compliment the driving bass and bright guitars. The quieter "A Friend" lacks the drive of the other cuts, but may be more atmospheric in a live setting. The hidden track was a pleasant surprise that lifted the conclusion of this offering with the remix "A+B=C". This is pop savvy indie rock that will be enjoyed by a younger audience.
