It’s always nice to hear of new bands appearing, but also
nice when they seem to ‘click’ together from the off. The Empty Page are a Manchester trio who have
just released their new Ancoats Sessions EP recorded unsurprisingly in the rain
that often accompanies the inner city area of Manchester that sits adjacent to
the ever changing Northern Quarter.
Being Manchester bred, they’re oozing Northern grit and have
pulled together a collection of three tracks that encompass their obvious power
and determination. Vocalist Kelii and
guitarist Giz are formerly of punk band Obsessive Compulsive and drummer Jim
Hotep comes straight from Indie rockers Boddickers whose Think On graced our
ears back in 2011.
Taking their name from the Sonic Youth track which appeared
on their Murray Street album, they have been compared to the likes of Pixies
and Smashing Pumpkins, and take their influences from Radiohead, Joy Division
and The Smiths.
Fuzzy guitars and thumping percussion are the order of the
day as they voice their views of frustration, dissatisfaction, passion and
hope. Let their music do the talking.
