Chelmsford Rocks
A new eagerly awaited EP from 4ft Pimp. The more I hear their music, the more I like them. Out of all the bands that we have sent to us, to review and play on the radio station, this is one of the only groups that I keep on my IPOD. They play very powerful hard rock which seems to have its own unique sound. This is demonstrated on the first track "Great Aunt Anaconda". A grand track which has great guitar riffs and what I think every good rock band should have; keyboards. The second track "No Ball Games" just as good as the first and reminds me of Deep Purple a bit in the latter stages with the guitar and organ battling together.
The final track is one I have heard before "Shotgun Paradise". This is a speeded up version and is guaranteed to have you shaking your hair (if I had any left). The only problem is that if this describes sunny Southend, then it's changed a lot since those halcyon days at Zero 6 on a Saturday night in my youth.
All in all another great slice of Seaside Rock played well with conviction and humour, very highly recommended BUY IT.
