This is probably far from what I will normally write about, but these Athenians, being just on their debut release, sound like they are a seasoned band with serious compositional abilities. If I have to make some references, imagine an Arctic Monkeys/ Queens of the Stone Age/ White Stripes mix which maintains a certain heaviness and a great deal of personality. While, only by listening to this EP, you might categorize it under just "good music", the Crashes take off if you happen to see them live, something I was lucky to be a witness to some weeks ago. Even if you find yourself a bit biased due to their borderline hipster image, when they hit it off on stage you just have to admit that we're dealing with a focused band with great musical potential. I personally can't wait for their next step.
