From: Boston, MA
Sounds like: Folk Rock/Punk
The Womps are a band from Boston, MA that released this six track, genre breaking EP back in late May. The opening track "Before Your Eyes" builds up nicely before breaking into an explosion of sound that kicks it up a notch. The violin and added vocals add depth to the track that keeps interest throughout its near six minute length. The guitar solo on the track is extremely impressive. This track really has it all as an opener. "Beginnings" opens heavy on the guitar before breaking into a blues type sound. It's catchy as hell and perfectly mixes blues and folk into a track that should not be ignored. "Eating Up My Soul" gets going right away and wastes no time in showcasing the violin. The track will get you foot tappin' and singing along to its catchy chorus and riffs. "Into The Wind" slows things down and creates a slower jam rock/blues track. The dual female/male vocals on the track is magnificent and along with the stellar violin work really makes this track shine. "Miscommunicate" is another catchy, radio quality track. It's four minutes of pure bluesy bliss. "Portrait Of A Fool" closes out the EP with an emotional journey. If Postal Service did hard folk rock, it'd probably sound close to this. It's really exciting to hear a band like The Womps bring a refreshing sound to the masses.
Verdict:
The Womps perfectly mix together Blues and Folk Rock to create an incredible EP.
