The Seven Deadly Sins

"Inspired in part by the shimmer of Teenage Fanclub and the heaviness of Nirvana. This blend seems to have won them a few admirers, mohawk-haired Scottish music impresario Jim Gellatly among them. Now is a good chance as any to seize the day and say 'I was there' before their popular reference points elevate them to a bigger festival stage than the Tall Ships festival." Edinburgh Evening News

THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS – Misery Lake CD-EP/Download
Edinburgh band’s debut EP and one that showcases four aspects of the band over four tracks yet remains consistent in that it sounds like one band at work throughout. ‘An Accident Waiting To Happen” kicks things off in rousing style with shuffling rhythms sounding more like an express train rather than a goods train, rhythms overlaid with twangy, chiming guitars and where crashing cymbals emphasize vocals, and the vocal takes off like a rocket on a song that just gallops along. The verses are sung with a kind of sneering content, strong and strident, yet suddenly bursting out into the chorus then settles back to the verses, going back and forth with ever greater intensity as the song progresses, that chorus lifting you up every time it appears. From there, “Yesterday” is a completely different affair as slowly rolling rhythms reveal twangy guitars that shine out as the song bounces along merrily on waves of well sung leads and hushed, full-sounding harmony vocals, the song taking on an almost Americana orientation, full of depth from the vocals, flowing rhythms and the wonderfully restrained guitars chiming away throughout, a truly magical and quite strident song. The title track begins quietly with soft bass, delicately ringing guitar, as a languid vocal enters on top and the mood is quite haunting. The verses then drift almost imperceptibly into the chorus and the song takes on a decided keyboard-less early seventies Pink Floyd appeal, like one of the more reflective songs off something such as “More” or “Atom Heart” but delivered with a modern slant as the lead guitar rings out slowly over the chiming rhythm guitar, river of bass, soft beats and the swathes of vocal and harmonies, delivering the chorus with emotion. The song then suddenly surges into life and comes right up to date as a red hot lead guitar takes the reigns, the rhythms are beefed up, the bass positively pounds, the guitars scythe through while all the time the vocal harmonies remain languid and delicious – truly a stunner of a track. The EP ends on “I Hate The Smell Of A Rat” which is a ferociously delivered (for this band) slice of adrenaline-rush songwriting as the band and singer drive headlong through deliberate verses and accelerated choruses, more harmonies adding depth, the guitars riffing and rolling with authority, even a searing lead guitar breaking out half way through for added bite. Another great song ending what’s been an absolutely fantastic, faultless EP and I, for one can’t wait to hear the album when it comes.
