\"\"<\/figure>\n

Leeds based five-piece These Minds<\/b>, are seeing their year out with the release of a new EP, ‘Pour Out’<\/i>. While pop-punk music has been thriving of late, it’s also treading a fine line of becoming over done and in some cases, pretty mundane.<\/p>\n

‘In My Way’<\/i> is a firey opener though. It starts with a scratchy lead guitar intro that plays through the song’s chorus and the drums sound distant until the whole band kicks in with aplomb. The following track, ‘Shaping’<\/i> is a bit heavier, but again, there’s a big focus on guitar leads which is true of the entire EP. These catchy lead lines sticking out through the stomping beats and thick bass serve as a way of adding a certain bounce to the tracks. They up the overall “summer” vibe that bands like this strive to create. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently released single, ‘Emley Moor Mast’<\/i> sits in the middle of the record and brings with it a slightly slower pace, but remains as angsty as anything else on here. It showcases the band’s softer side in parts which makes it a good single choice and it is sure to provoke some singalongs on their upcoming tour to promote the record.<\/p>\n

Adam Rank has a grit to his voice that sits somewhere between screaming and clean singing, and coupled with the somewhat rough production of the EP, gives These Minds<\/b> more of a foot in punk than many a pop-punk band currently doing the rounds. <\/p>\n

For a band in their infancy, These Minds<\/b> seem to be on the right track. A full-length record could see the lads explore things outside of the genre if they wanted too, but with ‘Pour Out’<\/i> they have something short and sweet that’s aggressive and packed with hooks.<\/p>\n

3\/5<\/p>\n

‘Pour Out’<\/i> by These Minds<\/b> is out now on Disconnect Disconnect Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
