Edinburgh-based group The Fabian bring with their new self-released 'Battle for Hearts and Minds’ E.P., a rocking collection of female-lead, vocal-driven tunes. Leadsinger Louise Hunter provides the band with a hardcore rock 'n’ blues backbone, leading with a voice that could easily rival Courtney Love or Anouk.
'Over and Over’ combines acoustic notes with Louise’s clearly raw vocal talent. Because it is a little more laid back, simpler than the other numbers, Over and Over is potentially the best track on the E.P. 'You Got Cold’ spices up the pace, giving hints of punk credibility and Chrissie Hynd sexiness. 'Lying Eyes’ verges on the folk and country side, showing variety and again, propelling Louise’s fearsome vocals to the forefront of the song.
This 6-track E.P. is a poetic reflection of the greatness that lies in Edinburgh’s underground music scene. With so many emerging talents in the capital city, The Fabians 'Battle For Hearts and Minds’ will help them find their niche amongst other fantastic acts.
