Myp et Jeep - Blood Is Not Enough

1 of 1

A talent for mixing harmonies and heaviness

Whatever about capturing the mood of the times with the deadpan opening lyric "It feels great, the world is caving in", Myp et Jeep's sound is a far more retro proposition.

That, however, is a compliment and the Kilkenny quartet's take on the US rock sound of the early to mid-1990s is more memorable than plenty of the outfits from back in the day.

During the standout moments on their debut (the title track, 'Papercuts'), they show a talent for mixing harmonies and heaviness, while the strings on 'Please Remain Calm' prove their ambitions aren't limited to just a mastery of power chords.

A good job, with hopefully even better to come.
