Album Review: Boy Jumps Ship - Engines EP

There are several aspects Boy Jumps Ship shares with recent Scottish sensation Twin Atlantic. First and foremost, both are genuinely exciting bands coming out of a new wave of British alternative rock which is getting more and more exciting every time. Moreover, both bands' recordings have been blessed a surprisingly polished production that only sharpen their respective sounds. On January 24th, Boy Jumps Ship release their new EP 'Engines'.

First track 'We Won't Burn Out' opens with sensational power, offering a style somewhere between alt-rock licks and post-hardcore riffing that is sure to speak to a wide range of listeners. The band deliver their first chorus, a hook-based stomper that is sure to rip amps apart on a live stage and is only a taster of things to come. Taken as a whole, the track isn't very challenging, but proves an efficient alt-rock single. 'The Ocean' is essentially more of the same but with more jagged rhythms and gang vocals. Again Boy Jumps Ship offer a powerhouse of a chorus that suggests the ability to summon earthquakes.

Since forming in 2009, Newcastle's Boy Jumps Ship have played with the likes of The Futureheads, The Ghost Of A Thousand and Maximo Park, as well having a sold-out headline show in their hometown's 02 Academy. 2010 saw the band release a self-titled album while see the band grow even more, with an exuberant new EP called 'Engines'; four tracks of well-crafted and pulled off alternative rock which sees the four-piece be compared to the likes of Taking Back Sunday and Twin Atlantic.

With a new EP and plans for more shows; including one supporting up and comers Francesqa as well as plans to record more material, expect to hear more from Boy Jumps Ship in 2011.

For Fans Of: Twin Atlantic, Taking Back Sunday and Alexisonfire.
