Hitchcock Blonde ‘Five Pounds’ EP Review



Hitchcock Blonde are a four piece alternative rock band from London. Formed in 2009, they are inspired by Skunk Anansie and Band of Skulls. Their latest EP, ‘Five Pounds’, is a mix of female-fronted punk and indie rock. The first track on the EP is ‘Animal’, which has an incredibly catchy riff and fresh, raw vocals from lead singer Ella Grace. ‘Baby Knows Best’ has a mellower vibe and displays how versatile Ella’s voice is. The third track, ‘Buzz Kill’ is fresh and unique, with an almost grunge-sounding chorus. ‘Cutglass’ opens with an impressive bass line and delicate guitaring, progressing onto an angst-filled chorus with powerful lyrics. ‘Let It Go’ is a very alternative song, which sounds very post-nineties grunge. The last track on this unique EP is ‘Sexy Like You’, which could easily become a massive hit. Possibly the best song on the EP, it is exciting, fresh and it will make you want to press repeat over and over again. If you fancy something new and enjoy strong female vocals, then ‘Five Pounds’ is the EP for you.
