Sounding like mid-period Replacements, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this 6-song EP. I don’t know the first thing about The Cold Beat other than that they feature current members of Where The Land Meets The Sea and former members of Lock And Key, The Call Up, inblackandwhite and The Murder Mile but I can tell you that they sound like they’re having the time of their life cranking out tracks like “Watch And Ward” or – my favorite on here – “Antiquing”. You know the kind I’m talking about… where it’s hard to tell whether it’s punk or rock but you simply don’t care anymore once the chorus kicks in so you just call it punkrock.
As fun as it is to get the new album from a band you already know is good, this is so much better. Just honest and passionate music made by a bunch of dudes because they love making music.
Score: 8 out of 10
