EP 44 Crosspaths and Come At The King reviews

    CROSTPATHS EXCITING NEW CROSSOVER CREW DETAIL EP PLANS & ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE! Unstoppable alt-metal crew CROSTPATHS continue their ascension with the launch of their sophomore EP, Mutated, out Friday 27th November. Before then, the nu-metalcore rapscallions have just unleashed an explosive new single, Rampage, check out the single here https://youtu.be/JXqS2-d82iA Coming at you from Kent and born at the very end of 2018, CROSTPATHS made an early name for themselves with the release of last year’s self-titled debut EP. Tracks from the record spawned radio airplay via Total Rock and Hard Rock Radio and grass roots support poured in from many quarters. Taking cues from Papa Roach, Fever 333, and Linkin Park, CROSTPATHS have managed to astutely etch fresh imprints on the nu-metalcore genre. Consisting of Ritchie Murray Jack (Lead Vox), Owain Lewis (Bass/Vox), Michael Edwards (Lead Guitars), and James Mason (Drums/Percussion), the emerging crew have recently signed to Enso Music Management  and have collaborated with local artists including Dohny Jep, WeatherView and apatternimperfect to produce remixes of their self-titled EP. Recently, the band’s focus has firmly shifted to their thunderous new EP, Mutated. The record is a burly slice of alternative metal infused with killer breakdowns, monstrous riffs, rampant energy, and a plethora of hooks. Lead Vocalist, Ritchie Murray Jack remarks: "We wrote this high-octane material in late 2019 with the intention of a spring release to coincide with touring. Best laid plans eh? Sonically, it's all action, but lyrically the songs reflect a rollercoaster of emotions that many will be familiar with (especially now): anger, sorrow and stubborn defiance." CROSTPATHS have a hatful of blistering singles and videos on the way and will tour the EP as soon as the world allows.

No doubt one we can all get back to being at live shows this is a track that will be a live fan favourite Not really knowing anything about the band I just feel this yet again is another band to keep eyes on because the beauty with music is anyone at anytime can pop up and showcase what they are about, if you ever hear people saying the scene is dead where is the next headliner for this festival, there are plenty of bands and artist out there some just need a platform and to be giving a chance to showcase what there about and just maybe Crosspaths are a band that could make the transition                       Following a strong 2019, London-based rock and roll three-piece Come at The King ar e due to release their second studio EP ‘Take To The Streets’ on the 13th November.    Come At The King draw their influences from the blues-infused sounds of the early 00’s garage rock revival, blended with the big riffs, hooking choruses and swagger of the mid 90’s Britpop scene.    Inspired by the likes of Oasis and Arctic Monkeys, Take To The Streets - produced by Max Hopwood at London Road Studios and mastered by Philip Marsden, sees the band try to find the poetry in the mundane life of working-class towns in the shadow of big cities.   Very much a case of stick to what you know, the four-track EP explores the pursuit of romance, the tragic lives and small-mindedness of big egos in small towns and the unconditional admiration and respect of where you grew up.   Ahead of Take To The Streets’ release, sees the release of it’s leading single ‘In My Place’ on the 6th November.    Take To The Streets is due for release November 13th and will be available on all major platforms.   COME AT THE KING ARE:   Max - Guitar, Vocals Cal - Drums Laurence - Bass       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/comeatthekinguk Twitter: https://twitter.com/comeatthekinguk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/comeatthekinguk/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4y-Tl7mJ7qc65p9ohfEhSA Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/36OMU7mJCoU0SHb9L3C1fm?si=qMhXOns2REepI48_38Q3fQ Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/come-at-the-king/1446760565       My thoughts Take to the streets is a strong release from Come At The King the EP packed with big hooks and melodic tones, this is an ep that takes inspiration from the past rock legends such as oasis and the stone roses as well as cues from Morden day giants like Biffy Clyro and kings of Leon and as well as creating its own unique path for you to be taken guided down  overall this is tied up into a perfect packaged of production and well written songs my personal highlight is the track overgrown which I have included in the episode as this offers a great insight into the writing and production of the EP .  For fans of   The White Stripes Oasis The Charlatans The Stone Roses       You can find this episode and previous episodes from Setting The Tone in the below links Spotfiy https://open.spotify.com/show/6Jj9SsrXxve44839dptihN… Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/setting-the-tone/id1499390718 Google https://podcasts.google.com/?q=setting%20the%20tone podbean https://Settingthetone2.podbean.com   Thank you to our sponsor @The Guitar Ninja Academy, the best place to become a guitar master.
