They Died To Young - Push Becomes ShoveThey Died To Young - Push Becomes Shove

They Died Too Young are a four piece post hardcore band from Kingston Upon Thames, the band formed back in 2003 and have spent most of their time touring the underground scene to death. I will be honest and admit that They Died Too Young are a totally new band to me even through they have released a few EP's in the past. The band are releasing 'Push Becomes Shove' which is a new 6 track EP and will be released towards the end of September.

The EP opens up with 'Hanger Lane' which starts off with some stunning guitar riffs, the longer the song goes on, the more the band have going on, the song slowly builds up and ends up being a classic song where everything fits in all so well.

Another long guitar based introduction opens up 'Face Of A Million Strangers' the vocals take about 40 seconds to come in and prove to be quite solid vocals, the guitar work throughout the song is pretty outstanding and ends up taking over the song, but the screamo vocals coming in every now and again do give the song good variety.

They Died Too Young go for a long quiet mellow introduction that builds up in pace and sound within time and takes just under 2 minutes for the song to explode into the hardcore sound the band are known for.

'Lo Siento' is the first song on the EP that doesn’t have a longish introduction, instead the band decide to go straight for the kill with Tom Gibb's screamy shouty vocals kicking the song off, the song features a wide variety of sounds and is quite a long progressive piece of hardcore.

'Push Becomes Shove' is a great release that has been produced extremely well, the majority of the songs on the EP are progressive hardcore songs and you can clearly tell that They Died Too Young are influenced by bands such as Fugazi and Hot Snakes, so if you like either of the bands, I recommend that you check out They Died Too Young as they won’t disappoint you.

4/5
