Album Review: Giants - Giants EP

In an age where hardcore bands seem to be littering the UK's musical landscape, Essex mob Giants' self=titled EP is a refreshing take on a much practice formula. Eelicately delivered clean vocals fused with ear splitting growls to a backdrop of crashing, intelligent riffs, the quintet really hit the mark.

After a relatively serene intro, opener 'Highlife' explodes into life, taking said serenity with it. Short and sharp, the band incorporate well judged changes of pace, and with a note perfect chorus and customary snarls, it kick starts the EP in dynamic fashion. 'Home to Home' may be a notch down on the Richter scale, but melodic vocals and hurtling guitars fire the song through to an epic close.
