This engaging EP combines elements of jazz, rock, pop and metal but refuses to be bound by the rhythms, scales and structures of any of them.

I’m convinced they’re capable of so much more than what’s on this EP - I just want to hear them make music that doesn’t make me want to throw myself off the nearest tall building.

This is somewhat of a warning to their peers, because - vocals aside - Enjoy Destroy aren’t even trying.

The most dreadful example of why maths geeks should never be given synthesisers for Christmas.

Waves of imaginative melodies crash constantly back and forth drawing you in as their galloping pace whisks you away.

‘Neon City’ plays like a chronology of a band trying to find their own distinctive sound.

Les Gars are hauling themselves around the UK on a mini tour in the coming months and on this basis I’d recommend checking them out.

This brief, tantalising snapshot of a talented band in its infancy captures them in fine form.

Such discordant crap doesn’t deserve to be used as a Frisbee, an ashtray, or even one of those spinning bird-repellers – though YouTube could probably use it for shredding.

He also has a way of telling his musical stories in such a naively, innocent way that sucks you in, waiting to see if it all turns out okay. Maybe, just maybe, we can continue the rehabilitation of the singer/songwriter genre.

The lion still has his teeth and the pride that has been fed on titbits of collaboration and aborted projects are doubtless hungry for more.

ddd are a prime example of a band so encapsulated by their heroes that any hint of originality is replaced by sub par pastiche.

The Humour deserve to be huge. Their music definitely has cross over appeal and enough humour to win them legions of like minded fans.

It is a must-hear for those who are fiendish towards sheer technical abilities and it is a must-hear for the bands who can’t seem to deliver intelligent metal music.
