  
Mallory Knox are a band name that I have come
across many times over the past couple of years
due to the fact that they are forever on the road
touring but despite hearing the band name so often
I have only just recently heard their music for
the first time when their video for ‘Death
Rattle’ came on Kerrang TV a couple of weeks
ago and my god was I blown away by the explosive
energy and general passion that these guys put
into their music that I just had to check out
their debut album ‘Signals’.
‘Signals’ blasts open with ‘Beggars’
a song which is the perfect opening to the album
and also has the potential to be the strongest
sounding track on the album as it opens with chunky
guitar riffs and Mikey Chapman’s melodic
vocals come in soon after taking you on one hell
of an riff-tastic, fast paced melodic journey
that will have you reaching for the repeat button
the second the last riff is laid down.
Fans of the band will already be well used to
the bands singles ‘Death Rattle’,
‘Wake Up’ and the more recent ‘Lighthouse’;
all three tracks are featured on the album and
it is so hard to believe that Mallory Knox already
have three high standard singles under their belts
this soon into their career, yet the best thing
is that the other seven tracks featured on the
album also have the sound, style and appeal to
be future singles.
The great thing with Mallory Knox is that they
can pen a big catchy song but at the same time
they are also good at writing and performing laid
back songs take ‘Bury Your Head’ for
example it is so laid back that it sounds quite
sleepy yet also quite haunting in places and it
is just another example of Mallory Knox’s
excellent song writing.
It is still early days for Mallory Knox but with
an album as amazing as ‘Signals’ it
is safe to say that 2013 is going to be a massive
year for the band and I can guarantee that as
the year progresses you will be hearing more Mallory
Knox songs on the radio, seeing more videos on
the TV and seeing the band on the road doing a
mixture of headline shows and supporting high
profile bands a lot more.
4.5/5
