CD Review: Need A Fix? - Debut EP
Need A Fix? Don’t we all every now and then? Well when it comes musically there’s no band unlike this one, Need A Fix? comes from the streets of Los Angeles making their name known having toured all over the county making fans from all over, aside from grabbing a good fan base their recent preview of what will turn into an LP down the line is their “Demo” consisting on 4-tracks of pure heavy metal adrenaline and windmilling action it’ll make your mind explode with excitement.
Bandmates Rudy (Vocals/Guitar), David (Bass/Backing Vocals), with Abe (Drums/Back-Up Vocals), brings this mind twisting creation to life, when it comes to “RIP,” which guitar riffing thunder introduction breaks through with growling vocals breaking all sound barriers in the distance. “Stereotype,” melodic mellow guitar riffs seeps on through letting the music make its way and slowly unveils itself having a blasting sensation from the drummer who breaks on through calling the other members to back him back up and do so gratefully. Not giving one idea of wanting to stop making this a fast paced non-stop action filled heavy metal mixed with hardcore vocal abilities kind of ride.
“Demise Underneath The After,” the drumming usage used on the beginning of this track gives a marching army type of feel, then allows the rest of the instruments come in having the guitars be fast and up front as the vocals take over growling their insides out as the instruments work together in creating such a beating riff its unbelievable to not want to break out into a headbanging marathon if not an aggressive mosh pit. Last but not least leads us to “Corruption,” and remind you this demo alone has already corrupted us with its previous tracks but this wrap up take it home. The killer guitar solo puts all the other tracks to dismissed, keeping an on-going headbanging scene as the drums keep up letting the fastness never let go. The vocals come in and out with such aggression they can’t be contained themselves, which leads this track to be an overall success. Bassist David comments “It only took us 6 hours to record this 4-track demo, leaving the sound guy amazed on how we recorded each track with just one take.” *laughs* Leaving Need A Fix? to be one of the most aggressive displaying acts the Los Angeles terrain can ever experience and won’t ever forget not for a long shot.
