| Never For Nothing Review |

Listening to this E.P. was, for me, like stepping back in time. Back to the early 90's when exciting new bands like Pity The Small Thumbs, K, and Curam were thrilling festivals with their energetic sounds. Now, at the end of the 21st century, come WORDhead with a 6 track E.P. that has already seen them pick up a secular management deal. To describe them? Well, when Ali sings, it's very britpop in a Sleeper sort of way. Plenty of flange guitar, nothing to heavy, endearing - if not strong - vocals and a finished product of some note. "See You" is the best of these types of songs. It's poppy enough to get radio play, has good hooks and neat guitars. Then, as Leon sings, it's more hard hitting and direct rock. The opening "Everywhere" takes the stance of someone who sees Christianity in his everyday life but asks "what's it all about?". Driving guitars and attacking vocals make this a tasty number. Otherwise, the pick of the crop has to be "See You", and notably Andy Croft's excellent keyboard work. With a bit of polish (more money) this would be the biz! 8/10
