Sliced
peach submitted their four track EP to Bristol Rocks for review. The CD is
professionally presented in a printed cardboard sleeve. The artwork on the
sleeve and the printed CD is top quality. Other bands please note that
product presentation IS important in the quest to get your CD noticed. We
have received CD’s that are just CDR’s with a band name & title written in
magic marker. While these CD’s get a listen, they are normally discarded
after. The Sliced Peach EP will take it’s place alongside our other
professionally produced CD’s for future use.
Audio
production of all four tracks is excellent; they were recorded & mixed at
Animal Farm studios.
The first
track is called Spellbound and my personal favourite from the EP,
this is a melodic track with good harmonies. A quality Brit pop song with a
catchy hook and plenty of energy, I would love to see this played live.
Burning Starr
is the track featured on Bristol Rocks website and will appear on the BR CD
to be released later this year, so you can listen to this yourself. This
track is slow and powerful with excellent vocals from Leigh North.
No
Apologies is another melodic
Brit pop song with excellent dynamics. I love the way that this track moves
from bass, drums & vocals in the verse, to a gorgeous full instrumental
sound, with a topping of huge bold harmonies.
I would like to have one
song to criticise so that I could show myself as a mean music critic, but it
will not be Bad Ass Billy which is the last track on the EP. This is
another track that I would love to hear live, I can imagine a frenzied
audience bopping to the lively chorus. This song is full of clever and
contrasting parts that shouldn’t really go together, but they do! This of
course leaves me nothing to criticise, so there goes my hard nosed music
journalist image....Maybe next time.
Sliced Peach make top
notch British pop. This music is excellent both recorded and live.
Bristol Rocks 'Highly recommended'
