Album Review: Calling Mayday - Fire

StarStarHalf Star

Calling Mayday's EP is far from being on fire

Calling Mayday's EP is far from being on fire.

The EP lacks variety, tracks blending together, no slow or mellow songs and no standout tracks. Emma McQuillan's voice is dark and powerful, giving the EP a darker vibe and keeping it punk rock at the same time. Guitars riffs in Kaos and The Fire Song are killer, but the introductions almost intertwine as they sound similar. Say Goodbye is a fast-paced track, but sadly doesn't hit the spot. These guys have tried, but really need to expand their sound.
