Cheshire Grimm - EP Review: Cheshire Grimm

06 Jun 2015 // A review by Kerry MB

Hamilton/Melbourne trio Cheshire Grimm are ones to watch with the flurry of attention surrounding their debut self titled EP that was released a few months ago.

A wicked blend of genres can be heard from rock, pop and metal. Vocalist/guitarist Kat Waswo has a sweet voice with a versatile range, however, Cheshire Grimm are unique and it’s hard to compare them to anyone which is a rare find!

Misery and K.I.S.S are stand out tracks with stellar guitar riffs, I’m hooked from the first listen so it’s back for seconds and then thirds. Offering crunchy and solid musicianship, Cheshire Grimm work together well and I can only imagine how impressive their live sets must be.

Simplicity best sums up Cheshire Grimm, they manage to blow your mind with great melody and synchronization.

My only other gripe is not having access to a hardcopy, as this is an EP I could happily play over and over again!

Stay tuned for Cheshire Grimm - good things are to follow!

 

About Cheshire Grimm

Genre: Melancholic Wonder / Prog-Alt-Pop-Glitter
What do you see when you think of Cheshire Grimm?

The brainchild of Kat Waswo (vocals/bass) and Lora Thompson (guitar/vocals) has created a dark creature, twisting through the motions of light and dark, threading their bright colours into a warm blanket of melancholy.

Hadees Drudge - Album Review: The Mind Lies When The Soul Dies
01 Aug 2024 // by Kerry MB
Hadees Drudge is quite an anomaly in Wellington’s metal scene. Forgoing a second guitarist, they proudly rock one guitar in a genre where that’s almost unheard of.

Thousand Limbs has been on the scene now for a few years (since 2016) and have gained quite the following since, for their powerhouse of instrumental metal. Now, if you are also a fan of Kerretta and Nine Inch Nails then Thousand Limbs will be right up your alley.

PARK RD - Album Review The Novel
23 May 2024 // by Kerry MB
It’s easy to see why Auckland five-piece, PARK RD is making some noise, figuratively and literally with their debut album, The Novel. Heavy on the indie, but far from light with solid guitar riffs and pop and funk sensibilities, PARK RD are a great example of solid musicianship.
