Hildamay‘s debut, seven track EP release is freshly out of the oven from A Wolf At Your Door Records and is nothing short of an absolute stomper.
Kicking off with ‘Parachutes‘, the band are practically forged of gutsy riffs and gritty vocal, and there’s little doubt that the EP will endear many to them over the next few month.
On a full album, it’s be good to see the band explore the finer aspects of their approach more thoroughly, as tracks like ‘Delicate’ showcase a skill that many of their ilk lack: instinctive dynamic range. The song soars and sinks in equally impressive smoothly transitioned measures, and it’s pretty obvious that there’s a working chemistry within the band.
It feels a bit of a teaser of even better things to come in place, but as an introduction it’s nothing short of brilliant. If you’re into the growlier end of fresh UK punk, you could do a damn sight worse than this release from Hildamay right now.
