EPIC PROBLEM - 'Lines' 7" EP

In order to provide a quick recap for the uninitiated, and those with a penchant for punk history, Epic Problem contains one Neil McLennan aka Mackie from the 1980's punk and Oi! band Blitz but this new venture is a long way from being a step back in time.
The songs are built around a couple of strong guitars, a solid rhythm section and some gritty and gruff vocals which all come together in a highly effective manner. I'm still given cause to provide give Off With Their Heads as an immediate comparison to give you some idea of where Epic Problems stands musically, but that's more a case of them being in the same ballpark as opposed to be on the exact same page.
Three of the four songs are new but there is also an excellent cover version of "Weak" by The Beltones, and I feel that they've added much more of a punch to the song than the original had as well as displaying some Ramones influences in the vocal melody in the verses.
