5/5.8 are a hard rock band from Eastbourne / London and
Trial Period (8.5/10) is the first single off a forthcoming EP (and hopefully
album). Having heard the band live we singled out “Trial Period “ as a highlight
of their short set and here it is in studio recorded form (well almost - released on the 26th
June 2014).
The track kicks off with a wall of metalcore-esque riffing before being joined by lead singers, Luke’s melodic grunge tinged vocals making for a heavy but accessible listen. The song has everything crunchy metallic guitars, insistent drumming, gang backing vocals, catchy lyrics (yeah this one is going to be stuck in your head for a while) and even a short breakdown.
It is clear that a lot of work has gone in to this track and it feature superb production.This single is a very good omen for a forthcoming release and if the young band can keep the same quality for 4/5 tracks this upcoming release will strong contender for debut EP of the year.
(now guys make a video so this can be on
permanent repeat on Scuzz/Kerrang TV)
Trial Period is released for FREE on 26th June 2014 from 5/5.8's Facebook page
