Northpaw

Hailing from nearby Alton in Hampshire this five piece are looking to kick some ass in 2013 with the release of EP Trepidation. Having cut their live circuit teeth touring 2012 with Violet, they are playing the Anvil in Bournemouth supporting Death Of An Artist on the 17th of January.

Trepidation is an impressive work of five songs that are chock full of catchy hooks and melodic riffs, clearly influenced by luminaries such as Every Time I Die, Gallows and Glassjaw, the post-hardcore feel of the music has its own uniqueness. First song Extinction slaps you round the chops from the off and the supremely addictive Face Needs looks like being the EPís single. Habitus and Oil, Gratulerar unleashes modern punk with the fury of a Doc Martin in the nuts. Closer Artificial Respiration ends things on a high.
