Bursting with potential teasing through 5 tracks of kaleidoscopic talent, it\u2019s clear to see <strong>Treasures<\/strong> are indeed <em>\u2018Alive\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Taking their cocktail of catchy subdued riffs and angst-ridden vocals to the stage alongside Don Broco and Mallory Knox, the <b>Treasures<\/b> lads have developed local notoriety which is begging to be explored further. Long overdue yet indicative of every lesson they\u2019ve learned in 3 short years, the self-released debut EP demonstrates each member\u2019s core potential in turn. Colossal choruses collide with heavy and immersive guitars in a show of defiance and emotional conviction to complete <em>\u2018Alive\u2019<\/em>\u2019s atmosphere of relatable trepidation.<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe keep our friends closer but our enemies don\u2019t know we\u2019re never going home\u201d<\/em>, cries vocalist Nick Beeney with an unmistakeable southern twang loaded with conviction. Destructive and insistent, title track <em>\u2018Alive\u2019<\/em> showcases the intensely phenomenal guitar work that characterises their successful future. <strong>Treasures<\/strong>\u2019 distinct You Me At Six vibe suggests they have plenty more pent-up emotions to unleash in future, but this brief dalliance with some of them is tantalising enough.<\/p>\n<p>The contagious <em>\u2018Do What I Want\u2019<\/em> provides punk crowd chants to add to a towering theme of energetic revenge, complemented by punchy leading lines provided by Messrs Page and Veel. In contrast, the solemn echoes of <em>\u2018The Waiting Game\u2019<\/em> visit the contemplative side of the quintet. The authoritative presence of Dewsbury\u2019s drum work completes a reflective angle completed expertly by Beeney\u2019s heartbreaking line <em>\u201cthere she goes, she\u2019s piercing your armour\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Contemplative, defiant and scornful, <em>\u2019Alive\u2019<\/em> is a fantastically diverse debut.
