Last on the bill at Surya's 5 band offering last Sunday saw Yorkshire’s loudest Road to Horizon take stage.

Setting the tone with the clever use of an intro/atmoshere track the band launched into their signature strutting metalcore power cords to open the set with the excellent Sirens. Vocalist Ben Flockton has the perfect voice to balance a surprising melodic hook before thundering into a full post-hardcore chorus scream. Wonderful to hear, and considering the close confines of the unseasonally warm Surya club, and delivered with a great deal of style. 

This band are clearly well rehearsed, excellent musicians and loving being on the road. The tour set up to coincide with the release of their Faultlines ep mainly showcased it's tracks all, of which play superbly well live, Tonight is our Night being a particular favourite of mine from the set. That said, there were no fillers just a fabulous, all to short, set that delivered exactly what the audience wanted, power, power and more power, culminating in the title track Faultlines. 

The band has no weak links, the drums of Sie Gordon and Oli Parkinson's bass keep the band on point and are a great compliment to the guitars of Benji Wilson and Chris McIntosh. Fans of StoneSour should check these guys out as a good home grown alternative. I'm a fan and highly recommend you find out for yourself if they pass your way.
