Duck Explosion – Zebra Pilot (2013)

Hailing from France, today we have a very catchy Alternative Rock band under the very odd name Duck Explosion. On their debut EP titled “Zebra Pilot”, the band presents us four tracks of very carefully crafted and catchy Rock that will get you hyped immediately thanks to the band’s charismatic vocals and engaging song-writing.

While not our typical cup of tea, the band really had us going since the opening track: “No Way Out”. Featuring intricate guitars and very accessible vocals, the band focuses more on creating very direct 70’s inspired rock than any other gimmicks. The level of catchiness is elevated on the pulsating “In The Inside”, a song that has a very dominant bass guitar line and excellent percussions.

In full party mode we have the excellent “Lie To Me”, a song we can totally picture being the theme song for a summer movie thanks to its excellent guitars and vibrant vibe. Closing with another hit, “Top of The World” nicely brings this release full-circle with even more vibrant guitars and a great pace.

Overall, “Zebra Pilot” is one hell of an EP. The band has enough skills and charisma to grab the listener’s attention instantly and never let go. Featuring well-crafted instrumentation, the band really makes an impact with a vibrant and fresh sounding release. If you are in the market for catchy Alternative Rock, look no further and dig this release up.
