    Quizboy – “Not Like The Others You Know”

    “During this one [the EP], I’ve been sober, and I just felt like a stronger person that had finally dealt with a lot of stuff.

    Second track “Better You Than Me” is yet another fierce track of epic proportions that slams at us with a powerful vibrating sonic structure. Maybe it’s just me, but this track reminds me of some good ol’ 90’s / 00’s Rock.

    Doll Riot – “Mrreowrr”

    Lyrics are quick and to the point, making it clear that women have emotions, and they will show them without being called crazy. There’s also a brutal breakdown with spoken word verses that’s as unexpected as it is savage. Pretty well done.
