\"image\"With a rollicking style that reeks of motorbike oil and worn leather, Hercules Morse<\/b> bring the grassroots sound of yesteryear crashing into 2015 with their sophomore EP \u2018Edge Of Life\u2019<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not all that straightforward though. As the wavy harmonies of the title track bleeding into the rowdy nostalgia of \u2018Good Old Days\u2019<\/i> and the simmering deep set tenderness of \u2018All About Me\u2019,<\/i> leading up to the closing rally cry of \u2018How Do You Love Me\u2019<\/i>, the band slip and slide between chandelier-swinging debauchery and unfortunately tiresome moments of beige. There is a lot to enjoy on show, but the flat moments leave too prominent a bitter taste that distracts from where the band soar. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u2018Edge Of Life\u2019<\/i> is ultimately the sound of a band still trying to find the best footings for themselves, but overall Hercules Morse<\/b> have enough of the swagger, substance and sultriness to pump out the sort of songs that could make heads nod way back in the ‘90s as much as now.<\/p>\n

‘Edge Of Life’<\/i> EP by Hercules Morse<\/b> is out now.<\/p>\n
