\"HarkerWith Brighton punk quartet Harker<\/b> filling out their full-band skin (initiated by previous sole force frontman Mark Boniface), new EP ‘A Lifetime Apart’<\/i> is the result of a full fleshed-out ruckus punk rock assault.<\/p>\n

‘A Lifetime Apart’<\/i> honours a brand of punk that shows the inseparable power of ear-shattering gains of guitar with the classic youthful exuberance. The EP has moments that share a likeness to The Bouncing Souls in their infancy and the lighter side of Hot Water Music.<\/p>\n

Drum rolls signal the opener ’23’<\/i> that brings siren-ringing guitars to the forefront, determined to disrupt listeners. Boniface describes a similar restless feeling stating, “Feels like a comatose, but I can\u2019t get any kind of sleep,”<\/i> evoked by jarring instrumental strokes.<\/p>\n

The production is perfect, catering to the odd quirky paralyzing bends of ‘Nightmare Fuel’<\/i> that leans towards a shoegaze-y tremolo whirl. Boniface\u2019s voice doesn\u2019t allow space for you to doubt his self-deprecating, “I tied all my grief in a knot and took it with me, to feel less a burden,”<\/i> in his Matt Pryor-esque charm on ‘Sleepy Eyes’<\/i>.<\/p>\n

‘A Lifetime Apart’<\/i> is devoid of any filler, substantiating Boniface\u2019s claims of the band of showing a “progression from a singer with a backing band to a proper four piece unit.”<\/i><\/p>\n

‘A Lifetime Apart’<\/i> EP by Harker<\/b> is out now on Paper + Plastick<\/b> \/ No Panic Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n
