Rating: 4/5
Miniature Dinosaurs are back this week with the release of their four track EP Turn It On.
The EP comes hot off the heels of the release of their super catchy single Lemonade - which happens to be the opening song on this new collection of tracks.
To say that Lemonade is an infectious and catchy song is a bit of an understatement as this will be stuck in your head long after you have heard it.
This is a song that is just bursting with energy as the band mix pop and indie elements and are clearly having a lot of fun in the process.
Barry Maclean is a vocalist that has a real presence when he begins to sing and there is almost something Bowiesque about him.
And that trait is well and truly on display on Lip Sync - which is a track that gradually builds up.
There is almost a plodding sound from the drums throughout and it really has a very hypnotic feel until Maclean and the guitars taking up a notch in the chorus.
This is another great track from the boys that really does crescendo in fine style - you can't accuse these boys of not putting passion and energy into their music.
Next of Kin is a pulsating track from start to finish but there are some great and slightly dark bass tones throughout.
This shows off a slightly different send to the band both in the sound of their music as well as lyrically as Next of Kin is a song about getting back home.
Title track Turn It On is the closing track on the EP and this is a track that has a real confidence and swagger to it.
This is another infectious pop track that brings out the lighter and fun side of this band.
Turn It On is a great collection of track from Miniature Dinosaurs - it is a shame that there was not more to listen to.
