The three piece from Leeds that is Dinosaur Pile-Up
are pretty damn new to the music scene, they have
been together as a band for under a year now, they
are already on the right road to success having
played a sold-out headline show for club NME at
the Koko in Camden and now they are ready to release
their debut EP which is cockily titled ‘The
Most Powerful EP In The Universe!’ which to
me shows these guys are either full of confidence
or they are always up for a laugh.
‘The Most Powerful EP in The Universe!!’
may not be the most powerful EP in the universe
but it is defiantly a strong EP that you will
not forget in a hurry and it will help bring bigger
opportunities to Dinosaur Pile-UP, the EP has
a grunge-punk sound about it, it’s a proper
foot stomping EP that sounds like a mix of Weezer
crossed with the Foo Fighters with Dinosaur Pile-Up’s
unique edge added for good times.
The EP opens with ‘Summer Hit Single’,
the song kicks off with a massive guitar riff
that I am sure people can hear from up in space
as it is that loud and good sounding, the whole
song is riff-driven, whilst the vocals come across
melodic yet rocky at the same time, towards the
end of the song there is a massive guitar piece
that any guitar geek is going to fall in love
with.
‘Opposites Attract’ opens up sounding
so much like Weezer from the vocals to the big
crunching guitar riffs, it all has that Weezer
sound and feel about it, and once again the guitar
riffs are immense and some of the best that I
have heard in a while.
‘Cat Attack!!’ is the weirdest sounding
track on the EP, it starts off with real fast
vocals and real toned down guitar work, and this
is how the song runs right until the last 30 seconds
when the instruments come in at fall force.
The EP finishes with ‘Beach Bug’
it is a bit of a sleazy grunge rock song, it has
a bit of a guitar hero feel about it and whilst
listening to the guitar riffs you can almost imagine
yourself pressing the different colour combinations
on the guitar hero guitar controller, well that
is until the real hectic solo comes in and makes
a big dent in your hearing with its loud hectic
riffs.
Dinosaur Pile-Up have proved that they are a
serious rock band who are going to go far with
their debut EP ‘The Most Powerful EP In
The Universe!’, this is defiantly the start
of big things for this Leeds three piece, and
with the NME behind up them, you will totally
be seeing a lot more of them, maybe even on the
next NME sponsored tour.
5/5
