Yearbook are blasting into the scene with their upcoming EP, Old Bones, which is set to hit stores on 5th March this year.
The EP opens with the title track, Old Bones. Starting with a subtly and then blasting into hard-core vocals and drumbeats. It gets you nodding and eventually head-banging as the song continues. There’s something hypnotic about the track that leaves you in a trance throughout the whole track.
Ropes picks up the tempo slightly giving the EP a twist towards a fun and cheeky dimension. The vocals dominate and leave you singing along. It’s one you can dance to and really enjoy listening to.
Abandoning the cheeky nature of the previous track, We Are Strangers, comes crashing right back in. The edginess of this track is to die for. There’s so much attitude that flows from the accompaniment and the vocals, commanding you to pump your fists and band you heads from start to finish.
Classic Literature continues the havoc on your sound systems as the epic drum beats collide with the rasp in the vocals. It’s so overpowering that you’re left struggling to breathe just trying to keep up. (Click for FREE Download.)
Time Management brings the attitude down slightly, but leaves the tempo rolling full speed ahead. It’s a great combination of control and chaos as the accompaniment supports the lyrics in order to fulfil the title’s claims.
Closing the EP just as strongly as they opened the it, Sinker demands you fists raised and your feet stomping from start to finish. It’s one that leaves you throwing everything you’ve got around you like there’s no one or nothing in your way.
Overall, Old Bones is one that leaves you breathless from beginning to end. It’ll get you moving all over the place and leave you wanting more. I can guarantee that your hands will be raised; fists will be clenched and your head will be bobbing up and down no matter what.
