Romeo Indigo Romeo - The Romeo EP Review

By

Back in February Romeo Indigo Romeo, a metal band from Co. Down released the brilliant single "Spooky Scary, Spooky Scary". Now they are back with a brand new EP called "The Romeo EP". 

The first track "i" begins with a beautiful intro that then explodes into pure metal. The vocals of Aaron Reeve are truly captivating throughout and just when you think you have the song pegged, it descends into all out balls to the wall guitar funk. An incredible opener.
Unfortunately "The Message" is not a cover of Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, however it is definitely grandiose with some masterful drumming, flashy guitars, furious vocals and it lasts just over five minutes. See what I did there?
"Spooky Scary, Spooky Scary" was the single that Romeo Indigo Romeo released back in February. I loved it then and I love it now. It's laid back funk infused metal music at it's best. 
"Wolf" attacks straight away going right for the jugular. This is bound to get your heart pumping. It would be absolutely perfect used in a car chase scene of any car movie except The Fast & The Furious because that's absolute shite.
<insert weird Yoda/Sneeze interlude here>.
The EP comes to a close with "That's What You Get" which has that perfect blend of rock, metal and nu metal sound that System Of A Down are renowned for. The transitions between styles works fantastically and creates a very enjoyable song.

Logan J Parker is a singer songwriter from Portugal but currently residing in London. Just a couple of weeks ago I reviewed her single Cry Cry Cry and now she returns with her latest single Blue. About the song, Logan says " Blue is another sad song I wrote about the lockdown and it's dedicated to my mother and best friend Rita. Without her, I wouldn't be a musician." Watch the video here: Blue is a quirky upbeat jazz track and is Logan's first foray into the ukulele. The happy vibes of the music and Logan's vocal delivery masks the sadness in the lyrics. This song will put you in a  good mood for the rest of the day.  Follow Logan J Parker: Twitter Instagram Facebook Spotify Official Website SoundCloud YouTube
