So, Chop Shop Records we need to have a talk about The Republic Tigers, their four song EP you send just…just isn’t enough to suffice me. This four song EP comes not only with the disc but I also have five pictures of the men responsible for the great sound coming out of my speakers, a nice little bonus. Buildings & Mountains, is an head bobber and ass shaker all in a five minute span, while also showing off the musical talent of the band. Sinkin’ Annie, Down, Down, Down, Down, is a bit of a calmer song sticking to one thing and going for it something I can appreciate, but don’t think that fact cripples this song it only makes it better with it’s great hook.
The Drums, much like Sinkin’ Annie, Down, Down, Down, Down, is another catchy one hook song, giving a little bit of room to move around and get lost in the song. The final track on the EP, Rollercoaster, stretching 4:44, the almost fully instrumental song was a good way to end the EP making you want more at the end as the disc stops. The Republic Tigers 4 Song EP is one to look for and listen to, here’s hoping for a full length soon!
I give it a 7/10
