Prey Drive are hailing from Norwich, UK and they recently signed for the excellent label Krod Records. “Tabula Rasa” is their brand new e.p. and I am happy I reviewed it for this zine.

The e.p. contains 4 songs filled with emotion, melody, beauty, sadness and hope. I love the feelings it intermingles in me while listening to the songs. “Brand new skin” made me hope for the new and better me, while I shed my current skin and walk to the horizon to the better future. Sad, but song full of hope. “More than magic” is a song for which the guys made a video you can watch below and it is more upbeat punky song with some nice guitar hooks, backing vocal harmonies and excellent song structure. The title track made me smile and made me sad at the same time as I caught myself daydreaming and whispering some distant poem from the corners of my brain. Mighty and emotional, this song remains in memory long afterwards listening. The last one “Like Animals” has a sad and a bit weird piano start and later evolves into melodic pop emo punk masterpiece of forlorn desire, wanting, happiness which also brings sadness to the likes of us, whose philosophy some men just can´t understand. Awesome e.p.

8/10
