Review:
Oxford
Stoner Rockers – Desert Storm and Welsh Stoner Riffsters – Suns
Of Thunder – have teamed up to release a superb split 7inch single.
Desert Storm have recorded an entirely new song whilst Suns Of
Thunder have offered a song from their 2015 debut album – Start As
You Mean To Get Down.
Desert
Storm's song – Signals From Beyond – is classic Desert Storm
through and through. Loud grizzled vocals from Matt bring this song
fully to life with their familiar style of Stoner Metal drenched in a
healthy dose of Blues Rock. This song feels like it was taken from
their 2013 album – Horizontal Life. It has the same spaced out vibe
from that album. So if you're a fan of that album you'll find much to
enjoy here.
Suns
Of Thunder song – Earn Your Stripes – is more of a groove/stoner
rock kind of song compared to the heavier offering from Desert Storm.
Sure I'm disappointed it's not a new song from these guys but when
they include one of the standout songs from their debut album then I
can easily forgive them. Earn Your Stripes ticks all the right boxes
to entertain you for three minutes or so. It has a slight classic
rock vibe especially with the vocals but it ends things really well.
H42Records are releasing this 7inch single on vinyl and pre-sales will
start on Friday 29th March 2016. If your'e a fan of both
bands then you cannot pass this release by. All in all this is a
superb 7inch single that will look good in anyone's vinyl collection.
