EP Review: Heartships – EP1

The last band that I remember coming from Leeds was the Kaiser Chiefs… Well fear not fellow Northerners, there’s a savior to be found amongst you.

Heart-Ships are a band with a huge sound who tick all the right boxes. Their charming, yet deceivingly appealing music is an epic listening experience that surely belongs on a big stage, and this EP proves that.

They are introduced to us via the striking ‘Five Folks Of Lightening’ that has the capability of giving well-established bands like The National a run for their money. And the stand out track, ‘Pinhole Of Light’ conjures up similar feelings towards the brilliant Kendal band Wild Beasts, only there’s an added bit of punchiness that offers a much more bone rattling experience.

Delivering music that is both exciting and abundantly interesting is a reoccurring theme throughout EP1, and it’s something we hope to hear a lot more of in timeThe last band that I remember coming from Leeds was the Kaiser Chiefs… Well fear not fellow Northerners, there’s a savior to be found amongst you.
