The Dirty Youth – ‘The Fight’ EP

Who are The Dirty Youth? No they aren’t a group of underage charvs drinking lambrini and cider on your local street corner but a hard hitting female rock band from South Wales. The Welsh Valleys brought us bands such as Lost Prophets, Bullet For My Valentine and Funeral For A Friend and once again they’ve brought us another gem.
Although these guys are female fronted this isn’t your standard drab Paramore wannabe band. The fast paced guitar riffs as well as the powerful vocals are reminiscent of In This Moment where as the up beat rhythm section glues the musical ability of the band as a whole perfectly.
The only let down on this three track CD would have to be the last track “This Is For You”. This as it stands is not a bad track but I was hoping for one more in your face rock number, to finish thing’s off, but it is refreshing to see a band who are able to go from powerful in your face rock music and then strip it down to a mellow song that challenges any ballad currently in the Charts. 7.5/10
