Billing themselves as 'countryside and north western' there are some good, no frills roots-rock moments to be had on this Manchester band's debut ep.
The group started out as Fultons Point but became The Yellhounds after changing bassist and augmenting their sound with pianist and fiddle player Tom Carver.
Got No Place To Go is a strong opener with a resurgent country vibe in the vein of Steve Earle or Whiskeytown
The title of MTV Blues and lines "please don't look for me on MTV" pretty much speak for themselves.
Just Wanna Ride is the strongest track - a wistful ballad ("Don't want to leave but I need to run") where Brendean Cartwright's vocals again owes a strong debt to Ryan Adams.
The upbeat closing track - Ain't Got No Home - has a crowd pleasing hoedown feel with Carver's fiddle playing to the fore.
A highly enjoyable ride which at under 15 minutes is all done and dusted with admirable economy
