Another guest review today by Paul Austin of Revolt Into Style Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063450477170).
Echo Chambers (https://www.facebook.com/echochambersrdg) are a DIY punk/alternative band from Reading UK that play songs about ”life, liberty and lawnmowers!”
Formed in the lockdown of summer 2020 they have already released a few tracks and now a new EP “Versificator” which, after a quick bit of investigative work, means “one who creates verse;a poet”. They're a trio with a line up of Alice Brown (Drums/Vocals), Alan Gow (Guitar/Vocals) & Charlie Loveday (Bass/Vocals).
There are 4 tracks on the EP that musically sit in the punk structure with some great lyrics. The EP kicks off with the track “Empty Words”, which is very relevant here in the UK as we enter into 6 weeks of “national empty words” campaigns. The second track “Not My Job” is a brilliantly observed story of all the things you should be capable of doing yourself, like picking up after your dog and forming your own musical opinions.
Next up “Physical Things”, which reminded me lyrically of some of Buzzcocks songs where Pete Shelley used to list things, like in the track “I Believe”. This track is all about things the band like, such as “fish and chips” and “pick `n` mix”. Closing out the EP is musically the least “punk” track called “Cry” which lyrically is a bit more introspective.
Overall a great EP and would recommend it. You can check it out here : https://echochambersrdg.bandcamp.com/album/versificator
