The next band up for review is the Glass Caves.

Coming from Yorkshire in the UK they bring an epic feel to the indie scene. Combining aspects from bands such as white lies, Glasvegas, Fleet foxes and the Cribs, GC blends soaring melodies with edgy and booming rhythms.

Although indie styled music isn’t my usual stomping ground, I fully appreciate talented musicians when I hear them.  GC‘s latest E.P. titled ‘Ebacorum’ produced by Roni Szpakowski over at Peak Studios(UK) shows great maturity for a band at such an young age. The E.P titled track Ebacorum oozes class. Solidarity in all aspects, great lyrics shying from generic lyrics and zero inclusion of terrible guitar tones often found in this style of music. Instead, creating a thick full beastly sounding track has clearly been achieved. Matthew Hallas on vocals could be described as sounding almost preacher like, keeping you transfixed for the duration. Some stonking harmonies just polish off one of the best songs around.

Match another absolute belter, gives you the Kings of Leon vibe. From the very opening bass line riffage spiced with a cracking over driven tone, it sets up to be a promising effort. It certainly does not disappoint, again rasping vocals set a dark feel that more than suit the album artwork. Also I have to mention the guitar work on this track, a solo which actually doesn’t sound A. Crap or B. totally out of place adds a whole new dimension. It makes this a song to remember not just a filler, definitely single worthy. You would have to go along way to find a better unsigned band than the Glass Caves, make sure you head to their shows.  I have played a few times with them and its not fun trying to sound anywhere near as good as them.

This band clearly is destined for bigger things, even though from what I gather the indie scene is on its arse.  These guys have too much talent to go unnoticed.  I don’t think they are far from producing that huge hit to spark off a career of playing great shows to big crowds.

For fans of : Glasvegas, Fleet Foxes, Kings of Leon, white lies.
