Vancouver based rock quartet SLIP~ons don't do gentle songs. Their new EP is guitar-centric in a 90s kind of way, but somehow The Jam slipped into their sound as well. These are the kind of songs that should be played at top volume, with the rough anthem Graystone as the stand-out track, barreling down the highway with the top down (or roll down the windows if that is not an option).
The only breather song is Brock Pytel going out on his own with - spoiler alert - a guitar. But once the lyrical contents sinks in, the listener becomes aware that he is on the edge of panic... The band won't pick points for originality, but top marks for riffs and hooks. Think REM on speed, with Sugar on top.
Overtime is a self-released EP (vinyl, digital). Buy it from their website.
