I suspect this band don't like being categorised - the five songs on the EP range from indie rock to punk via funk and almost classical, and I think they could be great live. The music is seriously accomplished, perhaps even a little too polished at times. Nicola Hodges' voice (do I detect a classical training there?) works brilliantly with the acoustic guitar on some of the songs, notably "Cry At Your Feet", the best song on the CD, but is sadly a little lost in some of the more robust numbers. The lyrics are worth hearing - not explicitly Christian, and often quite girlie, but without the need for the public therapy of Alanis Morrisette. There are some excellent riffs too - great bass on "Unlucky" and "Crash" is really funky. I'd like to hear more.
