Alternative, a label often used to describe heavier or 'other' sounds, and one that would be useful during the processing of this offering from this Reading four-piece.
As its name suggests, Heart of Fire the title track of this EP burns strongly with effect-powered vocals, raging synths and riffs against a dance-floor beat with energy-a-plenty. However, there's some genre blurring going on during the songs here. On the one side of the track we have Pendulum and on the other side we heave metal-electronics and industrial acts, somewhere in-between on a track, or road of their own are innerpartysystem. Nu-metal? Nu-Numan? Nu-rave? Nu-genre entirely, perhaps? Whatever it is given the prominence of aesthetic-sounding vocals, heavy-melodics and club-beats in their songs, like that infamous sandwich spread, they're sure to induce one of two reactions: love or hate. Sadly, the sounds erred on the wrong side of the tracks for this writer.
