The latest EP release from June In Purple manages to deliver a blues rock soiree with some heavier and harder rock tendencies blended in, utilizing heavy-handed and edgy guitar tones, riffs, and this robust sort of Personality that comes gleaming through with each track.
The Psychobitch EP consists of three tracks, and each one delivers something a little bit different in terms of the songwriting and attitude.
Don't get me wrong, bursting at the seams with the air of a live performance in terms of this electric energy that the whole thing gives off, but each one of these tracks showcases something slightly different than the last, and they all come together like pieces of a puzzle.
The record certainly doesn't waste much time hitting you hard with the first and title track, "Psychobitch", which certainly boasts that blues tonality but does it in a pretty edgy way.
Again, a lot of it has to do with this guitar tone because it's definitely an alternative rock feeling tone, and some of the riffs get heavy and chunky but still feel like an almost classic hard rock style and aesthetic.
This is a great track to introduce the record with simply because it does give you some of the staples that the rest of the EP will showcase; however, listening to the full EP is the only way to go here.
The record boasts some surprises around its corners and slightly outside-the-box sections, along with stellar guitar work throughout the entire thing.
The drumming on this record is really what pushes everything forward. It feels like everyone is relying on that drummer to give them the level of intensity they need.
The energy level between the entire band is key throughout this entire release.
It almost feels like they recorded these songs live on the floor and everyone involved was just feeding off of each other's energies the entire time, which is why it comes through with that massive punch.
One of my favorite things about this entire record is those vocals. The singer is an absolute powerhouse, and she holds very little back in the way of inventive melodies that stick in your brain for long after the songs have ended, along with building out with a soulful feel.
This is awesome because her energy level matches the bands, and together, everything is just through the roof.
This is a record that sort of captures lightning in a bottle. I'm sure they could redo it if they wanted to, but I feel like this performance is once in a lifetime.
Like I mentioned earlier, it has the feel of a live performance. Even if I'm wrong about the whole live on the floor recording thing, listening to this record makes you want to go see them perform it live, right in your face.
If they can capture this kind of energy and aesthetic on record so well, then seeing them live must be awesome.
One of my favorite tracks on this record is the second one, which is called "King Outlaw".
This one, in particular, gives such an insanely addictive guitar performance. Sometimes they come in with layers of guitars sitting on top of each other, bursting with that same soul that the vocalist gives off.
This is where you can also hear some edgier, almost Black Sabbath style inspiration coming into play.
It's pretty obvious that this entire band has a slew of influences that they bring together to create their music, and this EP is a damn near perfect example of the combination of all of that.
This is one of the more addictive records I've heard in a while, simply because of its raw energy and approach.
It's not often you hear a record and immediately know this band is going to be great to see in a live setting.
The third and final track, "Raven's Lullaby", is one that, to me, showcases much more of an alternative rock sound. This is a heavier track with a little bit less of the blues aspect, a little more of the metal side of things.
It hits kind of hard and heavy, but still has that soul. There are no songs that are missing the personality, heart, or soul in the performances.
This last track just has that more metal soundscape to it, and it works perfectly as a closing track to this record.
It goes out with a bang, and I feel like this record needed that.
Either way, this is for people who love robust and bountiful vocals that give off loads of that attitude and soul along with great, classic but heavy riffs, and this great overall sonic presence and drive.
This is rock and roll. Pure and simple.
Once again, I suggest listening to this record from beginning to end because it's well worth it, and only then will you get the full spectrum of what the EP is offering.
Also, listen to this at a good volume. Turn it up. You'll likely find yourself singing along to these songs the second time through.
Remember where you heard this first.
