TRUST THE IMPACT. EP Review
"With it's intense thrashing and staccato screams, the blistering barrage of opening track 'Trust the Impact' proves the perfect introduction to the debut EP of the same name from UK alternative hardcore band Kaikoura. Animated, absorbing and unfaltering in its energy from start to finish, the EP epitomises the bands dedication to saying something meaningful and with passion, regardless of the fads or trends that seem to dictate so much of today's music scene. The drumming of Ross Lambert is precision incarnate, mirrored perfectly in its skill by the equally addictive fretworking of guitarists Jonathan Douglas, Kyle Stubzi and Jonny Rob on bass, layered seamlessly track after track and made all the more compelling by vocalist Benjamin Mitchell, making this a five-piece of unquestionable talent. By far the freshest, most dynamic and vibrant sound on the scene right now, you'd be hard-pressed to find any other current band who epitomise the fury of intense live energy that Kaikoura achieve, and to find this on a debut EP is surely the beginning of something very special indeed."
