REVIEW: The Heat Inc. – The Heat Inc. EP (Melted Dino Records)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Heat Inc.<\/a><\/strong> call themselves ‘London’s loudest rock ‘n’ roll band’ and if this debut EP is anything to go by they’re not kidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the Covid-19 pandemic couldn’t have come at a worse time for the four-piece, who play the kind of music best enjoyed in a sweaty basement venue with like-minded souls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heat Inc. are Jon Dodd (vocals), Nicolas Rigot (bass), Maurizio Vitale (drums) and Marco Simoncelli (guitar), and on the evidence of this first release they’re going to be a name to look out for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The opening track is the full-blooded Down In The City<\/em>, with heavy riffing guitars soon joined by a dirty, throbbing bassline, and the song unfolds into a slice of raucuous rock ‘n’ roll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second track Raptors<\/em>, released as their first single back in June 2020, is slightly faster and carries a real air of menace, propelled by pounding drums and more swaggering riffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things slow down a notch on Sammy Swing Easy<\/em>, but it’s no less noisy or impressive, and reminds me a lot of Manchester-based alt-rockers The Blinders, which is obviously a very good thing indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
