"Sixteen Stitcher" is the second song, and it sounds a lot like Finding Westerly. The bass has a "twang" sound, and it meshes in with the guitar very well. The structure is pretty similar to the previous, with a catchy chorus that has the words repeated. It doesn't take away from the song at all; it's just a little similar. "Mixtape Medicine" comes up next, and the vocals are much different. They're cleaner, much more melodic. Even though the chorus is similar, yet again, to the others, the vocals are different enough to keep the song sounding great. The bridge at the end of the song serves as a nice transition into another chorus, as the song fades out and into "Do It Not", which is much harder than the songs that came before. The vocals are angrier, the music is heavier, and there are even gang vocals. "Do It Not" really helps move the EP along by offering up something different. The instrumental outro drags on a little bit, but shows what the band can accomplish with their instruments. The instrumentation continues on into "Rocketship Rebellion" as do the gang vocals. It's a nice song, but the inclusion of the random audio clip is a little cheesy and seems out of place. Roads! closes with "The Wrong Sort", which has the band ditch the gang vocals and return back what they played before. It's a decent song, but, forgettable as the EP comes to an end.
All in all, Young Tom Fury's EP is a solid one. They're all competent musicians and song-writers. The shared vocals help keep things different between songs. Some of the music becomes redundant at times, but overall, a good effort.
6/10
Another from the always awesome label, Death To False Hope. Grab it, it's good.
