Toronto's self titled debut album will be released in August, but this four track EP is a taster. Singer/songwriter Luke Metcalfe bases his songs on his experiences at high school and living on the streets with California's punks. They're here 'to party and rock as hard as is humanly possible.'

Rock'n'nroll! was done so well- and so extensively- in the 70s and 80s that, in this post-grunge era, to do it again seems unnecessary. Sound and Fury have tried though.

Lyrics don't veer from established rawk stereotypes. '18' bemoans '(I'm) 18... and I've had enough'. Naturally anyone older would think he's quitting too soon. 'Bad Touch' explains how popular our man is with the ladies. Apparently, he has 'the bad touch... that feels so right', repeating ground Gina G already covered when she sang 'if it feels so right, how can it be wrong?' He claims he's going to 'make me crawl on my hands and knees'... and I'd really rather not.

'School's out' explains itself, a topic already covered by a more famous band. And 'Teenage Rampage' describes how much their fan loves rocking out- a truth you would hope to be self evident, which makes you wonder why they're boasting about it.

It's done well- it's just been done before. The production quality is good, the melodies well put together. But the singer's wailing and moaning is totally uninspired, and the guitar merchant bankery is just polyfilla. Save your money for the Led Zepellin tour, and see how this was done the first time round.
