Skittle Alley - on the flight of steps

If i was to sum up Skittle Alley in one phrase it would be modern day classic C86. Skittle Alley produce a joyous and sweet pop noise, catchy melodies and a laid back vocal that reminds me a bit of The Bats. The title track gets things off in style with a juicy fast melody.

Other tracks like "Just for you" bring classic Sarah bands like Gentle Despite and Another Sunny Day to mind with its heavy acoustic relaxing melody, though just as influences and similarities, Skittle Alley is not a pastiche but stands up on its own merits as a great producer of pop. One of the best EPs i've heard for a while, none of the 5 tracks are weak in any way whatsoever.
