Governers Of California - Pressure PointGovernors Of California - Pressure Points

Back in 2005 in Birmingham a new four piece band called Governors Of California were born and two years later the band signed to Lockjaw Records and finished their debut six track mini-album 'Pressure Points' which features some great cover art with two men sat on a chair one dressed as a Zebra and the other dressed as a Deer and the various pressure points listed across their bodies.

The bands mini album starts off with the title track 'Pressure Points' which happens to be the best track on the mini album and is a song that has a really interesting mixture of sound with so much going at once and great mixture of squeaky and more screamy vocals. 'Destroy Something Beautiful’ is quite a fast catchy song with really good sing a long vocals. The closing track of the mini album 'I.C.' finishes the cd mini album off nicely and is filled with great breakdowns when you just wouldn’t expect them.

Every song on the mini album is pretty good and the band have got themselves a really good sound that is full of energy, stand out vocals and hooks that your not going to forget in a hurry, it’s just a shame they could only manage a six track release rather than a full album. The Governors Of California are defiantly a band worth checking out and should be around for a long time to come if they carry on creating songs as good as what’s on offer here.

3.5/5
