CREEPER - self-titled EP review
"So
I've heard CREEPER get compared to AFI, and though they may look a
little like they used to, I'd have to say that's where the comparison
ends. Musically this is far more like ALKALINE TRIO, AIDEN, and THE
MISFITS crossed with the big choruses of 'Our Darkest Days'-era
IGNITE, which results in something quite brilliant. Right from the
opener of this five track EP 'We Had a Pact', we're treated to
double-time pop-punk with gloomy lyrics in big, catchy sing-a-longs
that should please any pop-punk fiends out there. By eschewing that
over the top bounce that a lot of bands utilise these days, and
instead favouring more straight-forward songwriting, this definitely
has a bit of a 90s / 00s feel to it which I love, especially with
that semi-gothic lyrical undertone. Looks like these guys are going
to be pretty big so you'll no doubt hear about them soon, but in the
mean time, check out this quality EP, starting with the catchy second
track 'Gloom'."
