Blind Man Death Stare: Born A Centimetre From The Finish Line

After several years’ hiatus, the boys recently re-emerged under the new name Blind Man Death Stare. This comeback EP features three equally outstanding tracks that not only stay true to their former reputation, but also incorporate some fresh elements.

The title track and first song on this short-but-sweet release is a straight-up punk rock anthem. After an almost progressive intro, the song builds anticipation before escalating into ripping guitars and vocals. ‘Old People Should Grow Up’ seamlessly ups the ante, creating something that’s nearly within the realm of old-school hardcore. Faster drumming, grungier vocals and explosive guitars take the intensity to a whole other level. ‘Despite Despair’ wraps up the EP neatly, showing a more melodic and emotive side to the band.

Despite the brief length of Born A Centimetre From The Finish Line, Blind Man Death Stare are still able to showcase their versatility. The only downside to this record is that because it’s so short, you’ll find yourself playing it over and over again to revel in its awesomeness.

One thing’s for sure; this tasty little morsel certainly doesn’t disappoint.
