ST PETERSBERG
:: Dartz! ::
23 October 2006 / Xtra Mile Recordings / 2 Trk CD
By Emily Slowlie

The North Eastern dynamite trio preview their upcoming album with “St Petersburg” – a cutting, thrusting, perfectly timed cascade of synchronised guitar flourishes, bass and interlocked drums. Shifting beats, tempos and timings are cmbined with William’s vocals which are as dry and rockier as ever. The bands mix of Math / EMO and sharp alt.rock is still fresh, incisive and exciting. A fact that's proven further on the rockier “X-RayBex” which bounces it’s structure off the wall, crushing in shouty hooklines with the boomerang loops of jagged, heavy guitars.


MMMM
