We Collide EP

We Collide are a 5 piece alternative metal band from Larne, Northern Ireland who formed at the beginning of last year, and now releasing their self titled EP. The group consist of Ricky Baird, Scott Ross on drums, Conor McKillon on bass, and Jordan Hamill and James Popple on guitar.

The band were in the Northern Ireland download chart for a whopping 5 weeks with their debut single 'Pilots', and also managed to stay at the no. 1 spot for two weeks.
The band take their inspiration from a lot of genres, mostly metal. While it may seem that metal music won't appeal to everyone, the group (and I, after listening to their music) completely disagree.
Opening up their 4 piece offering is Pilots - a simply fantastic debut single, impressively with both screaming and clean vocal duties from Ricky. Next track A Lot Can Happen In A Year is my personal favourite. With chants of "you'll never know what you have until it's gone", the song sticks with the listener and gets even more addictive after each listen, much like the other songs.

This moves onto the even heavier sound of How Does It Feel To Be Made Of Glass? In the song, the two guitars from Jordan and James work extremely well together to create the mood. Near the end of the song comes a sentimental moment of vocals from Ricky, but not to worry, we are brought right back into the action. Get Low Or Get Out is a perfect way to finish the debut, with a long instrumental ending, and a slow, tender acoustic guitar, leaving us wanting much more.
What sets this band apart from others in the genre is the stylish way they write and perform their music;  The guys need to be seen live to witness the full action. And I think they're going to be big.
