\"\"<\/figure>\n

Arriving four months removed from the release of ‘Be Nice’<\/a>, Milk Teeth<\/b> have returned with a sequel – ‘Go Away’<\/i>. Once again, the quartet have produced a short, snappy but infectious EP. <\/p>\n

Opener ‘I Stabbed You First’<\/i> jumps straight in with Becky Blomfield’s self-analytical lyrics combining with a simple but effective structure. Complimented by a subtle rumbling fuzz, it picks up where ‘Be Nice’<\/i> left off. ‘Lillian’<\/i> blazes through with a call-and-response chorus from Blomfield and bassist Billy Hutton. Ferocious power chords, craving bass grooves and impactful drum work from Oli Holbrook merely adds to its urgency. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

‘Nearby Catfight’<\/i> is undoubtedly the highlight on offer. With its Green Day ‘Insomniac’<\/i>-era guitars and lyrics of awkwardly sitting alone on a crowded bus, drinking to past the time and being poor makes it another Milk Teeth<\/b> slacker anthem. <\/p>\n

While it’s clear that they have honed the art of writing grunge-pop bangers, they still have a tendency to stretch their wings. ‘Big Sky’<\/i> is spaciously played out, weaving between distant guitars in the verse before stirring up in the chorus. On the whole, it’s a more refined and richer Milk Teeth<\/b> we hear on the finale. <\/p>\n

When paired with ‘Be Nice’<\/i>, it is clear to see why Milk Teeth<\/b> have gained widespread praise since the release of debut LP; ‘Vile Child’<\/i>. Their evolution shows plenty of potential, yet for the most part, stays rooted to their grunge-esque origins. Nevertheless, there is evidence of confidence growing; Blomfield’s vocals continue to show character, and as a unit, the four-piece sound tighter and more self-assured than before.<\/p>\n

Although we’ve had our doubts about Milk Teeth<\/b> in the past, off the back of two thoroughly consistent EPs, our expectations for their second full-length have certainly risen.<\/p>\n
