Creeping through the airwaves out of Edmonton, Alberta, Suicide Helpline has the sounds that invokes excitement and originality in this oversaturated age. Suicide Helpline initially come across with catchy rock n’ roll that speaks of ‘60s garage rock, but then maintain a firm, raw attitude that harkens on socio-political stances found in that of ‘70’s punk mentality. Unlike others who profess the genre , this four tracks on this EP deliver with a certain and charming diversity in style. The EP is admittingly a little rough around the edges, but after listening to there will be no trouble being inspired to jump about. The opening track “Living is A Curse” serves to wake the listener up with an up-tempo sound that would rouse the dead.

“The Future Looks Bleak And If You can Tell Me Otherwise You Have Five Minutes Go” is a groovy number that sparks a feeling of foreboding while also giving you something to move to. “I don’t Care” is that simple defiant garage punk number that every album needs. However, the magic that holds this EP together is found within the fuzz laden track “More Than Just Friends.” It’s jumpy with a strong back beat and slick fuzz filled riffs. “More Than just Friends” is easily the mover and shaker on this EP. If this is what I can expect from Suicide Helpline, then I’m eager to see what comes next from these lads. Please send more. — Nick Kuzmack
