Day Eleven - Steal The Show by Fastrack
This powerful EP kicks off with "Life Or Death", a crazy track with enough energy from the raw guitar riffs to send you absolutely loopy. The thought that immediately springs to mind is 'Metallica' yet as the song progresses, you can evidently see the influences from other bands such as Guns N' Roses and the result is a big mash up of classic rock worked to a kind of gritty perfection.
One thing that really shines through on "Never Coming Back" is the heavy use of bass drum from Ben Sarros which packs a real punch and creates a strong backbone for Brad's abrasive vocal work.
The guitar rhythms in "Generation Riot" become more clean and back down slightly from the previous tracks but the rest of the band members heavily compensate for this by creating a full-on thrash sound which brings back Fastrack's signature sound.
Title track "Steal The Show" is up next and fills the fourth slot on this substantial, over-the-top EP. If there's any song on this EP that gets you bopping along like a maniac, it's this one. With it's clear, contagious rhythm, it's almost impossible to resist tapping along.
"What If" follows on with the heavy theme boasting a marching riff that makes you turn into a guitar god...only with air guitar. Any rock fan will feel the urge to headbang or begin to play air guitar as soon as they press the play button.
The out-of-this-world EP concludes with "Gonna Get You", an unbelievably fast-paced track that will leave you on an energetic high and make you want more.
This insane, deranged EP will leave you bouncing off the walls and is a definite must-have for anybody who is sick of the prancy wimps who are around today. Released on the twelth of February, the day this EP comes out will be highly anticipated.
