The Severed Alliance



ok first off i fought i'd throw in some words about this band and a review i did for them few months back for the Diamonds Demos they did.

Me and my band did a few gigs with them and we have seen them grow and become a really powerful band, First of I saw them as a 3 piece at the Cardigan Arms, my band supported and i could see potenial but once they got there second guitarist, we played a house party gig at there drummer Pete's House and they became this power house of a band with really tight sets and duel vocals well heres the review anyway.



Diamonds Demos fuck knows where the name came from but anyways the first track sarah the stalker is a maybe not a song i would of would put as the first track on the Demo, but it has has good example of the double guitar work with the arrival of the severed alliances second guitarist.

Second song on the demo is ode to old street. BY FAR for me the highlight of the Demo. Amazing song this one just got everything you want from a song, good building up verses with an explosive strong chorus, very buzzcocksish with a new twist.

Bang in with sexy rich and fashion tips. The third song which is a song the lads have been doing for a long time, and its bit of a TSA anthem among the bands following.



Dier Things is the fourth song on the demo. At the begining sounded like i had herd it before possible when we had played with them but then i noticed two guitars and its had a bit of work on it and revamped.

And the final song is somebody which is definality the avant-garde-ish song of the record, got a feel of post punk and skaish elements mixed.

Overall i give the ep 70 out of 100
