EP Review

Bad Sign - ExitBad Sign – Exit

Bad Sign have been together for 18 months now and in that time they have been constantly on the road touring but also managed to put some time aside to write and record their new EP ‘Exit’ which is due for release on the 25th April.

As soon as you put on ‘Exit’ you will be reminded of the early material of Biffy Clyro because the sound that Bad Sign has really does come close to the early days of Biffy Clyro where everything sounds really tight, the instrumental work is pretty experimental in places with some fantastic guitar riffs on offer throughout, and the vocals are straight up rock and roll vocals where they are not to melodic but just right.

The EP features 5 tracks and opens with ‘Unknown’ a song which features a really atmospheric introduction where each instrument takes it’s time to come in at such a slow pace until things fully kick off during the upbeat chorus which soars through at a great pace.

‘Existence’ is another great song which follows on with pretty much the same formula of an atmospheric introduction and yet again comes to life with the huge vocally impressive chorus.

‘Eclipse’ has the best introduction out of all the tracks on the EP and reminds me very slightly of Tool, but once again it is the chorus which brings the song to life and the energy and upbeat sound of the chorus is bound to go down a storm in the pit at the bands future gigs as it has so much get up and go running through.

Each as every track on the EP features the same winning formula and you can tell from this early stage that Bad Sign are crying out to raise the roofs off the biggest arenas across the country and if they keep up the hard work their day may well come in a few years.

4/5
