Being from Seattle usually means you have a lot to live up to when it comes to music. Blane are on their way up in the Seattle scene and from there hopefully all over the states. This Is My Town is a 6 song indie filled EP that will make you tap your feet and drive your vocal chords to sing along.

Starting the EP is “Twenty Years” an upbeat track where we get to hear the bands moving guitars and sing along lyrics. “Casper City” starts out a heavier drum and bass part and then filled in with lyrics like “It’s my town, No, you can’t have it, My town.” My favorite song on the EP is “Two Legs.” This song is a perfect blend of indie guitars and great lyrics.

This Is My Town is a great EP and it shows the band is well on their way to making some great music in the future. I don’t think the band’s lyric and vocals are pushed to hard on this EP which could have made it better. Overall a great indie EP that you should check out if you like bands like This Providence and Day At The Fair.
