Latest Review of the New Ep Black 'n' Blue

Thick Skinned Black ‘n’ Blue EP Review

The EP opens up with ‘Killing Me’. A great opening song that shows the band can write some top notch rock songs. Following on from that is probably the best song on the EP. ‘Night on the Town’ is typical Thick Skinned, punk/pop at it’s finest with a sing-a-long chorus and even trumpets. Track 3 sees things slow down slightly with a ballad. ‘Private’ has beautiful lyrics, and an acoustic guitar show the softer side of the band before the guitars are turned up for ‘Always Tell You’ another great rock song which brings us to ‘Time’s Up’ a fine song to close the EP with, another superbly written rock song, which quietens down for the bridge before exploding back into life for the big finish.

Overall this is another outstanding EP from Thick Skinned, which proves they are great song writers and should go from strength to strength.
