Bands of the Month: February06
Allergo
First and foremost this EP dominated my stereo.
Comprising of four bright eyed chaps from Perth,
Allergo are an special hardcore metal band. Okay,
hardcore might not be everyone's thing but this is
quality. The opening track Run For It remove any both
confirms and destroys preconceived notions of the
genre. It's all there pounding drums, screaming
vocals and weighty guitar, but there is enough
originality in the licks of Tom Mitchell's lead
guitar and Graham Motion's (perhaps the best name for
a drummer, ever) drumming to make a lasting
impression. I had great fun listening to this band.
Little nuances kept me on my toes and a smile on my
face. Apparently these guys are awesome live and
given the power of this CD I can believe it. It even
comes with a warning 'DIY recorded, with shabby
equipment, in Tom's Living Room' and it still sounds
mint.
