This is a really great EP from Fire Bug. The LA band has a
slight '70s feel that sounds like Zeppelin or early Heart,
although they're not stuck in the past. Their style is really
hard to describe in that it has a slight retro feel but not
really. You have to hear them to see what I mean. The band
is made up of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Juliette Tworsey,
guitarist Jules Shapiro, bassist Ian Solomon and drummer Ty
Dennis.
There are four cuts on here with one being a radio edit of a
previous song. The first song, "End of the World" starts off
cautiously with just guitar and Juliette's almost fragile voice,
before giving way to the rest of the band. The sound has
almost a hazy psychedelic feel to it, sort of like Melanie or a
subdued Janis Joplin meets Soundgarden.
The second cut, "Paradise" is even better, again starting off
with a subtle intro before cranking away. The band has a
great sense of dynamics however, trading off the quieter
passages with the more raucous parts. "Forever Won't Wait"
is very Zeppelin-esque with really nice guitar and a good
vocal filter. The last cut is the "End of the World" edit.
Fire Bug is a band that is capable of really great things. I
can't wait for the full album. |
