This is Pollocks latest release entitled Valentine released in 2010 & it certainly doesnt disappoint.

This is one band from Buffalo, NY that brings to the table effective songwriting with a high-energy rock delivery. Venturing to their website  a professional presentation of whats going on. This band is also known for their powerful live performances around the New York area. Band members include: Joshua Klein (Guitars, Vox), Mary Schnepf (Bass & Vox) Ryan Patrick (Guitar), & Michael Quigley (Drums).

The opening track "New Machine sets the stage rather well for this CD. It was a great intro piece which had me focused eagerly on what lied ahead. All in all the whole EP is progressive, & a fascinating musical statement. Music reminded me a little of Prefect Circle, Queens of the Stone Age, Audioslave & even Sevendust. There are some fantastic grooves on this CD which gives this band a modern Alternative Rock vibe that is dark & captivating. Kleins vocal presence works well track for track, & the whole band just grooves well together.

Conclusion: This is a good start for Pollock. I cant wait to hear the full length release soon.
