Album Reviews

Released late last year in Europe, Dinosaur Pile-Up’s latest album, “Eleven Eleven”, has finally washed up on the shores of the US as well.

Listen to the title track once and you will know these UK lads seem to have spent a fair amount of time worshipping at the altar of The Riff. The rest of the album is equally riff-centric, while the trio shows they know their way around a good groove and melody just the same. Check out “Anxiety Trip” for the former and the chorus of “Crystalline” for the latter.

All this is then beefed up nicely by producer Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood), resulting in an album that will please fans of Foo Fighters, Far and Failure alike. Play this one loud. Like with the stereo turned up all the way to… well, eleven eleven.
