MEDZ EP Review

MEDZ are a four piece band from Dublin and their music is quite relaxing and calm their songs are some i'd listen to while falling asleep, but not because they are boring rather they send you away to another place entirely


The first song I'm treated to was Psycho Fever the intro was really good with the bass and cymbals being light then coming in together and the Anchorman quote was a nice touch, the vocalist remind me of Shinedowns. The lyrics of the song are quite dark and i really liked how it ended

The next song main riff was very Three Days Graces esque The song is a lot faster than the last, the bridge after the WOO was my favorite bit it's well constructed  but i feel some bits are overplayed other than that this song is great and these guys really know how to end a song with another perfect finish

Sliding Down has a nice rock feel good bass, good guitar, good drums. It's a real sing along song the chorus of "Sliding down into the ground" the second time i heard it i was singing along, great song and it leads into my favorite


Enemies was a great song the intro had a reading of "The Laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski I love the vocals in this song they were spot on as were the instruments this song is one i'd be looking for a video for if they ever plan to release one.


Bleeding Me followed and took the tone straight back down as the was a build up between the previous tracks the vocals simple but effective, Guitar is well done bass clear drums were alright, all in all it was a good finish to the album.


I enjoyed this EP and i'm not a huge fan of this genre i know that this is well produced and well played, the dark lyrical themes are prominent and each song portrays a different part of human emotion 


For fans of Three Days Grace


I'll give it 9/10


I'll be looking to go see yous soon
