Hailing from Chester and claiming to be inspired by a mash-up of AFI and Hot Water Music, This Alltime Low aren’t too bad a being. There’s some aggressive guitar, some forceful vocals and despite all the angryness, there’s plenty of melody buried deep underneath too. Having already chalked up 40 gigs since the end of last year, it would seem TAL are also intent on getting their name out there, which will help them no end. The three tracks here are all of a competent standard, doing nothing particularly new or different, but done well nonetheless. ‘Reasons For Misery; Reason III’ is arguably the best of the bunch, but truth be told all three tracks are worthy of listening to. If you find yourself with a few spare minutes. a brief trip to their myspace page would not go amiss.
