NAKED SIX | No Compromise | EP Review

NAKED SIX recently blessed us with their debut EP 'No Compromise', a beautiful blend of grunge and rock that'll keep you gripped from start to finish.

The Manchester based three piece released their EP at the end of October, No Compromise displays only a fraction of the wild energy that is Naked Six. One of the best live bands around they put in 110% energy, wether they're playing to a handful of people in a vintage store or a sweaty gig space full of heads. They blow everyone away with each show and are garenteed to walk off stage having gained new fans. This November you can find them at a handful of dates supporting Vintage Caravan followed by a main support tour for The Amorettes


If you've seen them live a couple of times recently you may recognise some of the tracks off of the EP. The EP begins with the title track No Compromise. Naked Six have always stuck out as a band that seems to take influence from a wide variety of genre, within any of their songs I can hear something subtle that appears to be a  blend of the best parts of so many amazing genres. You can hear bluesy/fuzz rock elects within the guitar and bass (think BRMC, The Raconteurs etc), heavy grunge vocals and drums that could stem from the 90s Seattle scene, classic British rock and roll, subtle hints of prog, so much more. 


Tear Away picks up the pace to a new level, Seb Byford's vocals are practically spat out with punk attitude during the verses to keep up with the rhythm of the song, giving a whole new layer to the bands display of sound. This is one of the tracks that really allow drummer Tom Witts' talent to shine through.  Let It Out slows everything down after Tear Away, with a soft guitar riff leading us into the track. The song to be could be straight out of the 90s. Paired with the last track on the EP, Who Am I To You, the two songs display a further range to Byford's vocal ability. 

Unwind is probably my favourite song off of the EP, and to see live,  it's full of exciting vibrate energy from start to finish. Having spent the past year as a two piece, bringing Callum Chesterman-Witts' in on bass has done wonders to their live performance and added a necessity to the EP. Check out their EP and catch them at one of their shows!
