The four piece alternative rock band from Ellesmere Port, Buckle Tongue are set to release 4 brand new tracks which feature on the EP, A King In All Of Us this September.
The first title track Embers draws your attention straight away with its heavy drum and guitar riff that rapidly repeats, until vocalist Benny Chance's rugged voice breaks through. Instantly warming you with a familiar presence. Upbeat and impacting instantly, this song perfectly eases new listeners with their impressively funky rhythms presented throughout the verses as well as the ending of the song.
A tranquil change appears in the bridge where a much slower tempo is played, relaxing your ears before the journey comes to a close with a mammoth of an outro.
Following the funky flow, Tidal sweeps in with a strong instrumental intro that soon joins the powerful boom of Chance's vocals. This bouncy structure is repeated throughout the song, highlighted by the compelling vocals as well as the rhythm, leaving it's mark imprinted in your ears. Just as you think it's over a sudden change slowly captures you as the song ends on a much lighter and calm note, showing off a different side, completing the song overall.
Wayside joins the EP, fitting in perfectly. There appears to be a slightly different sound here as its modern rock vibration combines with a classic voice, the constant juxtaposing sounds work together in unity. By also adding a short djenty breakdown cater for the current audience. Famously ending on a high complex instrumental solo piece, that compliment the vocals into a breakdown of chaos. Wayside without a doubt is the strongest contestant from the EP.
To end such an explosive EP, You're Saving Me takes a different road from the other songs. Straight into vocals, we are exposed to the soft sharpness of Chance's voice that slowly eases us before the intense company of the guitar, bass and drums kicks in taking the song back to their unique fusion.
More of a slow song, it perfectly ends the EP, advertising the bands complex talent which they are more than capable of producing.
Overall the EP only consist of four songs, however each mark their own spot, setting them aside from each other but also working solidly as one. For a small unsigned band, Buckle Tongue have done well to bring back a nostalgic smell of classic rock music to the modern world as you don't get a lot of niche bands who have the right spark to make modern music with an authentic twist. Highly deserving 9/10 for the whole EP, it is pretty solid and worth a listen.
A King In All Of Us is out on the 1st September!
