Nuke The Fridge EP

Nuke The Fridge are a 3 piece up-and-coming band from Dublin, consisting of Frank Chambers on guitar, bass and vocals, Tom Dalton on drums, and Dónal Kennedy on guitar, bass and vocals.

The group formed in November 2010, making them relatively new on the scene.
Now their debut EP, recorded in summer 2011 and produced by blog favourites Dwelling For Jackals singer and guitarist Cathal McKeon in Cloak & Dagger studios, is the result of 7 months hard graft from the boys.

The band say they are a mixture of hard rock, alternative, blues and power pop, and this 6 track offering certainly shows off their best work.



Opening song Sandcastles brings the listener into a chilled out, bluesy mood, and eventually getting heavier, into a hard rock song, quite the same as next track Bear Trap Blues.
Title track Fugitives is another rock song, with moments of even heavier guitar working against the vocals to create an infectious, energetic song.
Solitaire is a much slower song, a ballad on an album so full of blues rock.
Not many bands might release an interlude on an EP, but it works for these guys, with their instrumental funk/rock, showing their influences as And So I Watch You From Afar and Adebisi Shank.
Slowly brings us back into the mood of things, with Race To Yonder, reminiscent of a Biffy Clyro song. A solid finish to the album, that leaves us wanting more.
