China Drum are coming from England and this little EP contains four songs. The common thread of all songs is 1st Avenue which is part of all song titles. Music is melodic punk, a bit rawer but with lots of pop punk influences in the song structures. Guitars are murkier and rawer, bass is pretty loud in the overall production but it all fits just perfectly. Vocals have that raspy, harsher vibe to themselves but sing melodic and they are just perfect for bands like this one. Of all four songs my personal favorites are ‘Can’t Stop 1st Ave’, and also ‘Last Chance 1st Ave’. This is a nice little melodic punk/pop punk EP. I would love to hear more from this band.
