The opening riff on the project is an immediate unlock for the sounds the audience is set to experience over six tracks. Boasting a blockbuster sound throughout, the band’s purposeful production walks the line of innovation without levelling a self-serving need to be ‘different’, being authentic to their influences but increasing their personal taste.

This adds a bounce and sense of fun to their progressive, punk-edged, technical direction. Whether plodding down a riff-driven dystopia or roaring into a new world, the band showcase their ability to be unique and build on what makes them an exciting new prospect.
The band comments, “The Akimbo People EP is a body of work all about relationships and how the ups and downs are really unpredictable.”
