The four-piece released their EP <em>\u2018Times Told\u2019<\/em> at the back end of last year and it\u2019s an absolute blinder, completely defining their sound in the short space of four tracks.<\/p>\n<p>Combining elements of hard rock and punk to produce a fierce Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roll vibe, <strong>Cavorts<\/strong> don\u2019t waste any time in proving their sound, kick starting their EP with the fast and ferocious <em>\u2018Pig of Ballast,\u2019<\/em> whose opening seconds feature a thrashing riff and powerful roar, not to mention being full to the brim with infectious hooks. <em>\u2018Make It Suffer\u2019<\/em> is no different, beginning similarly to the opening track with a fierce riff. Credit needs to go to vocalist Ryan Senior, whose wild roars really emphasise the heavy punk rock that <strong>Cavorts<\/strong> execute so perfectly.\u00a0<!-- more --><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2018The Way\u2019<\/em> contains some fantastic riffs, especially one that features near the beginning of the track which continues to reiterate just how strong this EP is. <em>\u2018Times Told\u2019<\/em> draws to an incredible close with <em>\u2018Save Some Things,\u2019<\/em> a track with a mighty 1 minute 15 second instrumental opening, a very impressive guitar solo and the usual jaw dropping substance that <strong>Cavorts<\/strong> have consistently provided.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that this band is extremely underrated: they have released an EP that, for their short amount of time together, is that impressive that it\u2019ll be a crime if they don\u2019t make it big. <em>\u2018Times Told\u2019<\/em> is an outstanding record that punk rock lovers NEED to get their hands on.
