Hold on there just a moment, did I read right? ENGLISH country music? Don't think I've come across that before. Two ladies, two sisters apparently, and this EP is a collection of covers of their favourite songs, none of which I know. Oh actually that's not true: I have heard “The Blower's Daughter” by Damien Rice, and they do a nice version of it. Good harmonies. Can't say I'm overly impressed with “What Goes Around” - bit poppy for me – but “Shine” is pretty good. Nice guitar line running through the song. I certainly don't know “WALLS” as I am no fan of Kings of Leon, but it turns out to be a really good song, possibly the best on the album. Hard to judge a band on the basis of an EP, harder when that EP is a collection of cover songs, but these two ladies sound like they definitely have something. Like to hear them singing their own material though.
