She Hit Me First – Excuses And Likely Stories

By paul

I last reviewed this band three years ago and my major complaint was that the songs sounded too quiet. Not a problem this time round, as the band have turned up the amps and rock out with some style. There are plenty of choruses on this album and plenty of singalong moments and the jump between the two EPs over the space of three years is pretty admirable. They’ve clearly worked out what they want to do and have honed their sound to come up with something interesting and enjoyable. It doesn’t re-invent the wheel but the riffs chug away nicely, the vocals are nice and melodic and everything is in the right place. She Hit Me First won’t change the world but this record is a pretty good release and one worth checking out.
