The explosive and abrasive mix on this three way split EP Single is a stunning blend of
lyrical provocateur, in yer face energy and beer guzzling party piece rock and in no
particular order.
Opening the EP are Reuben, this intelligent outfit have been busy carving out their own brand of thought provoking and passionate high energy rock and have released three albums to a growing army of dedicated fans with the band showing exceptional independence by building their own record label, 'Hideous records' and by attracting accolades across the music industry and fans alike this EP also includes two of the hottest punk outfits in the UK today with 'Ghost Of A Thousand' from the ever so trendy town of Brighton along with 'Baddies' who come from along the coast and the town of 'Southend' while Reuben of course are from the town of Aldershot, all three places bring back memories of my 'Scooter' mayhem days I.. digress... 'Twobythree' is going to storm the walls without any mainstream airplay so make sure you grab your copy from one of the bands websites because these could be in short supply.
So! the first track 'Cities On Fire' by Reuben opens the 'Twobythree EP' with their typical passionate volumatic style of modern 'core rock/punk with thought provoking bursts of emotional lament and overall feeling of pricked grandeur while the second band on this EP 'Ghosts Of A Thousand' lead off with their roof lifting 'Black Art Number One' taken from the bands debut album ' This Is Where The Fight Begins' which contrasts in wonderful style with its more shouty feel and straight up rock beat allied with the bands famous 'rip it up' energy that stokes the adrenalin burner before we leap frog into the pumping 'Baddies' dance punk track 'Battleships.
Although the band's have also contributed a 'B' side to this outstanding three way single each of which also have great merit, it is the 'A' sides from each band that captures the ground that only Gods walk.
