GSLG have come quite a way since the last time I heard them, which I believe was some dreadful demo track they had up on Myspace. Knowing my skills, that song is probably on this 7″, and I was just in a bad mood at the time. Their music twinkles away delightfully on the first song with the bass playing an integral part in forming their sound, pushing things onwards. Things fall apart a little when they try and get more energetic, but overall this is really effective stuff that brings to mind Reiziger, with urgent spoken vocals and the familiar guitar sound. The second song is fairly disposable, it builds up and eventually they gang shout a bit. Nowhere near as effective as the first song to be honest.
Me and Goliath are a UK band that I know absolutely nothing about. They don’t even post on Collective as far as I know. That’s grounds for being kicked out of the scene right there! They are screamo with some emo elements, lots of desperate yelling and rumbling guitars. The first song reminds me of stuff like Her Breath on Glass perhaps. “Sick Boy” seems like the pick of the two songs for the most part. It comes across in places as a band still finding their feet, but they show enough to make it worth investigating if you are into this style.
