eaststrikewest

eaststrikewest is an Essex based rock band that delivers a very enjoyable mix of post-rock and shoegaze. The beginning of their debut album "Wolvves" starts off in the traditional post-rock manner; instrumental, environmental and powerful, with a sort of Red Sparowes meets My Bloody Valentine sound. The vocals they introduce towards the second half of the album are good, but sometimes feel unnecessary, although "Stumble" is a real great song and the singer's voice is a huge part of it. But being an avid post-rock fan I sometimes just want the music.
