Album Review: Dark Skies - 'Demo'

Another demo from a local band...

and it's fucking great! I remember seeing Dark Skies name around

a little while ago but hadn't heard anything from them but if the three

tracks on this demo are any indication then I think we will be hearing

a lot more from this Melbourne outfit! 

The comparisons to Bodyjar

are going to be unavoidable, but hey, if you're going to be influenced

by someone it may as well be one of our country's greatest ever punk

bands. Front man Nathan has a raspy but instantly likeable vocal

delivery and every riff on this demo is catchier than an STD at a work

christmas party. 

I would've given the release a

higher score but at only three tracks in length I was left hanging for

more. All of Dark Skies' members have other bands (such as Melbourne

metal powerhouse The Abandonment) so I sincerely hope that they 

have some time to write some new songs and release an EP in the near

future.
