Album Review
Lap - Life Among PeopleLap - Life Among People

Lap are a 3-piece emo / scremo band from Manchester that formed towards the end of 2003 and write songs about real situations rather than about girlfriends being dumped etc.

The bands sounds is very heavy very fast and good screamo vocals. The first track 'I Am' showcases this perfectly and the song is a pure brutal and fast screamo song. 'Sit Back' makes you want to do the opposite to the song name, it makes you want to scream and shout along to the band whilst moshing hard.

The album is pretty fast and brutal all the way through until you get to track number six, 'A Joke Goes Wrong' which is a really slow sounding track but picks up really quickly for the chorus, moments like this show that Lap can do a bit of everything. The album finishes with 'The Velvet Soft Voice Of a Music Legend’, which is a really hard fast track with heavy riffs fast drumming and scremo vocals, great way to end the ep.

If the band carry on writing songs as good and energetic as the ones on this ep then the band are going to go far. Check out 'Life Among People', you wont be disappointed.

4/5
