\"Rival<\/a>When a song starts instantly with vocals, I always get intrigued, and the opener \u2018Riot\u2019 from Rival Fire\u2019s debut EP is surely one that intrigues me, I\u2019ve had this track for a while now and I\u2019ll be fucked if I can get the damn chorus out of my head! This track is a perfect introduction for a band, its groove and structure really bring out the hooks and I know that\u2019s what I like in a track, so well done. Great vocals, and one of those bitchin\u2019 middle 8\u2019s that take the song on a turn right before it builds back up into the big chorus that will continue to stay in my head. Thanks, Rival Fire\u2026 PS: It’s also been our video of the week for a couple of weeks, we felt it was worthy!<\/p>\n

\u2018Doctor\u2019 hits us with a riff and driving drums and is one of those songs that has a short verse and hits you bang with a chorus quickly, what I\u2019m enjoying about these guys as I mentioned above, the structure of these songs really is great, and these are songs that can easily be on the radio, and should be. Ooh this one is a little different, \u2018Take The Fall\u2019 could almost and I say almost be taken as a country type song when you hear the beginning, oh but that changes quite quickly as the chorus explodes into a big rocker. Lyrically great and a guitar solo to boot, nice work, I\u2019m actually really digging this one with my front row seat to watch it all unfold.<\/p>\n

Obviously an EP only runs at a few tracks, so the last original on here is \u2018All By Yourself\u2019 and starts as a ballad, and continues as a ballad, got me there, guys! Moody, atmospheric and shows that this band is able to show a few sides to themselves, which to me is a good thing. These four tracks have been solid, and with a \u2018clean\u2019 version of \u2018Riot\u2019 to close the album, where they take out the word \u2018fuckin\u2019 ooh 2016, so offended\u2026 but hey, they thought of the children!! See how nice these guys are!! It\u2019s a great bookend, and usually I\u2019d skip a same track, but once again, this damn song is STUCK IN MY HEAD! Well played.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always interesting to me how bands pick which songs represent them on their debut EP, and with this one Rival Fire have chosen wisely\u2026 check it out, and keep your eyes and ears open for more from these Melbournians, because you\u2019ll be hearing their name everywhere soon enough.<\/p>\n
