Feed The Rhino - The Burning Sons

With poppier rock defining much of our home-grown scene, UK hardcore’s been a little neglected. Enter Feed The Rhino, because what the Kent quintet have to set them apart is control over their chaos. They know when to pull out a riff to add some groove to their breakdowns, and when to counter a big chorus with a spiky, jarring dischord – making an impressive backdrop for Lee Tobin’s powerful vocals. The production could stand to have more of debut album ‘Mr Red Eye’’s gritty guitars, just to really assault your ears – but that’s a minor nag; it’s still ear-splittingly, satisfyingly heavy.
