Hailed by many as the British Kings Of Leon, Kassidy’s third EP is a mixture of acoustic harmonies and foot tapping beats. The Scottish band stormed many a stage during the summer’s festival season performing at places including Bestival, Oxygen, Latitude and Reading/Leeds, and their pure talent for creating great music is obvious with this brilliant album. Each track is better than the next, and Kassidy are echoing the recent trend of folk inspired music that became popular with the likes of Mumford & Sons and Two Door Cinema Club. ‘Oh My God’ is an acoustic track with guitar based verse that leads into a catchy chorus before leading the listener into a beautiful instrumental. ‘That Old Song’ takes inspiration from old western based songs, which could be destructive, but Kassidy have found the perfect balance between the old and the new. ‘Gamble Does The Gambler’ takes inspiration from Mumford and combines it with early KOL to create a beautiful autumn track. The final two tracks, ‘The Next Move On’ and ‘Heart’ round the album off nicely with two upbeat and extremely catchy songs. Overall, The Rubbergum EP is a catchy album that fits perfectly into today’s market.
Score: 8/10
