Review: The Alarm EP
Bob Dylan, the Byrds and the energy of the Clash have influenced the bright, jangly sound of this British quartet as their terrific debut EP suggest. Two message-conscious songs, “The Stand” and “Marching On,” offer the sort of robust melodies and harmonies the industry needs to revitalize AOR. A refreshing new entry.
