Album Review: Ebolagoldfish - Prophet & Loss

2 June 2014 | 2:25 pm | Kane Sutton

Lacking neither energy nor hooks it may sound a little same-same.

A strong punk rock record, laced with enjoyable riffs, catchy harmonies and memorable choruses. The vocals are at the forefront – appropriate considering the lyrical essence. Tracks like History seem to constantly ask questions of the vocalist's self and those close to him ('Are we doomed or are we saved?/Are we just victims of bad choices made?') while others, like Kill and El Diablo En Ti, bring higher beings into the picture (“Do you believe we're guided by the same?/If it's not God, it must be the devil”). Lacking neither energy nor hooks it may sound a little same-same.
