Burning Down Vegas
Demo EP
Tuesday 8th of January 2008
Burning Down Vegas are the hosts for this feast of rock, metal and hardcore.
Throughout the six tracks on this EP they consistently supply the goods for a relentless rock-fest.
As they correctly point out in their covering letter, 'Alive' and 'The Forgiving' are the two most commercially appealing songs with solid guitars, interesting beats and angsty vocals. However, the real gems are the less obvious numbers, with 'Inner Demons' serving up a tasty treat of riffs and crashing beats. You also get treated to the more visceral and angry vocals in these songs, which add flavour to the record.
There are some occasional slip-ups here and there, but this is raw talent and they more than make up for it by having good songs in the first place.
This is a great feisty record for total rock-out moods, sitting somewhere amongst Fightstar and My Chemical Romance.
