Album Review: Call Me Ishmael - Game of King

This 4 track EP from Glaswegian 6-piece, who have been fortunate enough to tour with the likes of The Temper Trap and many others in just over a year, has some stella numbers on it, I can tell you.

The first thing I noticed is how much the title track, 'I Am Stop', sounds within the realms of Biffy Clyro, but it could just be the Scottish accent. The track kicks off with some great, if not metaphorical lyrics (I am stop/you are go), with well thought out parts, a stupidly simple sing-a-long chorus and rapid drumming. 'Blood And Ashes' is an emotional number with perfect dynamic range, going from hushed verses and powerful choruses, allowing for the vocalist to show off his talent, going from the soft Scottish twang to aggressive shouting.
