The Lovekill

The debut EP from Cleveland’s The Lovekill captures the essence of their intense and loud live show and distils it into a short, ferocious blast of raw punk rock.

A squalling blast of feedback leads into a barrage of distorted guitars, pummelling beats and snarled vocals on the lead off track, ‘Broken Records’. The blistering ‘Staccato’ is aptly named. They take things down a notch for the menacing ‘Perfect Second Try’, one of the disc’s standouts. The Constantines-style quiet verse/loud chorus/explosive ending sets it apart from the breakneck pace of the EP’s other songs.

Singer Chris Rager’s voice is perfectly suited to his surname. His vocals exude anger and cynicism in equal measure, particularly on the EP’s stunning closer, ‘Obsolete’.

The five tracks found here definitely bode well for The Lovekill’s forthcoming full-length album, These Moments are Momentum.
