Over to Gloucester City, New Jersey for the quartet that are The Warhawks. The band released two EPs in the space of a week in July and both three track affairs offer up different takes and angles of great guitar led Indie Rock.
Parade sounds a little 80s, a bit darker than what surrounds it, Very Indie still. Brighton is more 90s and has a lot in common with the new noisier breed of Power Pop bands. A bit clappy with a big chorus. Highway is built on a killer riff and a knockout chorus.
The second EP offers even more variety. Domino is top notch Slacker Rock. Secondhand Promised Land is probably the best thing here, but the competition is high. Anthemic Power Pop at its very best with a Butch Walker like handclaps.
How High Can We Go? is wonderfully noisier, more aggressive and this works just as well. You can imagine this lot to be a great live band. I'm a bit confused as why the two EPs were not combined into what would be a splendid mini album. But both EPs are at Name Your Price, so no one has an excuse and can grab the six excellent songs. Great stuff!
You can listen to and buy both EPs here and here.
