This could be said for the whole of the EP, including stand-out title track <em>\u2018R.D.H.B\u2019<\/em> which takes on a rock \u2018n\u2019 roll vibe with an infectious rhythm that repeats in sections throughout; a perfect head banger. Closing track <em>\u2018Fangs\u2019<\/em> is just as captivating in its own right, reiterating the ferocious side of the band with dark, elongated roars in amongst the trademark vocal structures. The continued energy fuelled rhythms round up into an abrupt ending, leaving a very memorable and admirable mark on the punk rock radar. <!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>&amp;amp;lt;a href=&ldquo;http:\/\/goldentanks.bandcamp.com\/album\/r-d-h-b-ep-2013&rdquo; data-mce-href=&ldquo;http:\/\/goldentanks.bandcamp.com\/album\/r-d-h-b-ep-2013&rdquo;&amp;amp;gt;R.D.H.B EP (2013) by Golden Tanks&amp;amp;lt;\/a&amp;amp;gt;<\/p>\n<p>It can only be assumed that <strong>Golden Tanks<\/strong> are unsigned out of their own choice, because otherwise it\u2019s obscene that they haven\u2019t been snatched up already.
