Propped up by some stellar live cuts, the latest release from Short Stack may fall short when held up against the rest of their discography.

Hints of screamo seep into an otherwise tame sound that, while catchy, is a few too many years behind the curve, right down to the ‘50s kitsch of Dance With Me, the direction the band seem to be heading in for their next full-length. The EP is likely to satisfy fans while they await the new record, but won’t ignite the masses the way This Is Bat Country did.
