Nottingham Alternative Rockers The Dead Souls bring their no-frills approach to the forefront of ‘Coma’ in what can only be described as a 90’s Alternative revival for the next generation.
‘Coma’ opens with ‘Points of Entry,’ its distorted riffs and overall musicality echoing a Grunge era that hasn’t been seen or heard since the mid-90’s. The instrumentation is raw and stripped down, though, what it lacks in complexity, it more than makes up for in power. This high-energy output sets the tone for Vocalist Michael Preston to showcase his gritty, rasping inflections, a seamless fit that (when merged with the distortion) creates a wall of sound that is as thick as it is heavy.

The False-Heads – Alternative Rockers from across the pond – bring their unparalleled brand of quirky mud-and-grime to the masses with ‘Tunnel Vision.’ The 5 track EP kicks off with ‘Fall Around’ (the dirty distortion and minimalistic structure bringing to mind early 90’s Grunge and Alternative). As soon as the vocals kick in over the heavy distortion, there is an interesting dynamic at work – the light, almost deadpan delivery of said vocals is in stark contrast to the heavy instrumentation that accompanies them – providing the listener with a multi-layered listening experience right out of the gate.
