Equipment are hailing from Toledo, Ohio and this is their new release containing five songs. Music of Equipment can be described as emotional filled melodic pop punk with indie and alternative influences thrown in for good measure. Songs like ‘Talk To Strangers’ I can lyrically totally relate to, although all songs are very personal and kind of dealing with something with most of us are dealing with or have dealt with in the past or will deal with in the future. Vocal lines are melodic but also kind of harsh voice in some songs, I like that very much, with great backing harmonies and sometimes also harsher backing vocals especially in aforementioned song. ‘Finstacore’ is a great song about prejudices and hating the different, this one if one of my favorites on this record. As the band says, this EP is in fact part four of the quadrilogy and I am really glad I discovered this fine band.
