These kids sent us a video not too long ago showcasing just
how strong this group could be live in the studio. As it was not accompanied
with a proper release, I simply watched and enjoyed it and then went on to
further submissions. Well, they got their act together and have put out their
first EP, and it is a massive 5 song set. I am surprised how short this release is when
it is clocked, because as I was listening to it, the tracks crammed in so many
good ideas it felt like they were running through every decent chord
progression they were familiar with. The band is from Chicago, and they have
clearly learned from their city’s rich musical terrain. If Touch and Go Records
doesn’t pick these guys up, it will be their loss. Too many bands that fall
into this highly-technical side of rock often forget that music should be fun;
a mindset Evasive Backflip has not succumbed to. Recommended as a substitute
for a videogame's boring soundtrack or a dance party with your cat.
