ALWAYS THE QUIET ONES – Freak Show
Another new EP, this time from Liverpudlian Quintet Always The
Quiet Ones. The band formed in 2010 and have so far gathered a good size
following and landed a few tasty support slots with the likes of Deaf
Havana and Turbogeist.
Sound wise the obvious influences on the band have been Biffy Clyro
and Tool. Opening track ‘Sign Of The Times’ ( not a cover version of
pocket size popster Prince’s track thankfully ) is where the early Biffy
influence is most evident with stop/ start drum patterns, rhythm
changes and key changes throughout which they pull off with ease.
The other two tracks lean more towards the slightly heavier Tool
school of rock and for me this is the root the band should continue to
pursue. Again the musicianship and musical inventiveness are first
class, there is always something going on throughout a track to hold the
listener’s interest and essentially it leaves you wanting to hear more,
what more could you ask for ??
Always The Quiet Ones have shown great promise on this EP which is
to be followed up with a double A side single in April. If they can
continue with the same high standards displayed here then The Quiet Ones
will be causing quite a stir in a venue near you soon.
