Slaves To Gravity - Doll SizeSlaves To Gravity - Doll Size

Throughout 2008 there was no escaping Slaves To Gravity they were forever on the road either doing their own headline tours or supporting much bigger bands and playing festivals across the world, they also went on and won the best newcomer award at the Kerrang Awards, but during 2009 I haven’t heard anything about Slaves To Gravity and actually thought that they were busy writing material for their second album, well that was until I received ‘Doll Size’ which happens to be the forth single taken from the band’s debut album ‘Scatter The Crow’.

‘Doll Size’ is released today, the 27th July 2009 and it is a lot different than any of the bands previous singles, this time around they have decided to release a real toned down song, which features really stripped down guitar riffs and Tommy Gleeson at the top of his game with is strong clear vocals.

The b-side ‘Long Way Home’ is quite a rocking song which starts off with a strong sounding guitar solo, the bass line running throughout the song is fantastic and once again Tommy Gleeson’s vocals shine, and the addition of shouty group backing vocals really brings the song to life.

The last song included with the single is ‘No Shame’ it’s another song that is instrumentally stripped down, but vocally sounds huge especially as Tommy Gleeson shouts “Shame, Shame”.

I find it a bit odd that Slaves To Gravity are releasing ‘Doll Size’ as a single especially after so much time away from the music scene, but hopefully this will make way for the band to do one more headline tour before they go off to write and record their new album, ‘Doll Size’ is the weakest single the band have released so far but in general it is a good song.

4/5
