No Demise!

Ah, another new Engerica single and another slab of glorious noise! Engerica are in your face, intense, probably a bit mental, all as well as being one of the most exciting bands on the circuit at the moment.

'Roadkill' is familiar territory for anyone already versed in the ways of Engerica, it's loud, fast but most importantly it's a great tune overbrimming with melody and enthusiasm. The middle eight is great with it's lyrics of 'shake your fingers'. It's already a highlight of their live set but is destined to become a classic, I can see it now as rows of frantic fans all shake their fingers as Dave gurns at them from the stage.

'Detective Show' is a quirkier but no less fulfilling number, the lyrics and vocal delivery are firmly tongue in cheek but it's as catchy as hell. Towards the end 'Detective Show' plunders along like a runaway juggernaut and ends with it crashing into your house.

There's only one thing left to say about 'Roadkill' and that's buy it! If you haven't caught Engerica live yet then get on the case, now with the backing of Sanctuary and showing no signs of slowing down surely the only way is up. Excellent stuff.
