London 5-piece The Separation throw an exhilarating fusion of catchy hooks, energetic riffage and frenzied vocals together in a sound reminiscent of ALL, Left Insane, ...Trail of the Dead, Rise Against & At The Drive-In. They are off-kilter indie-rock leaning towards the interesting side of post- hardcore. Their debut album RETIRE YOUR ENGINES contains ten tracks of relentless punk rock delivered with the force of a hurricane and outstanding technical flair. Mixed and Engineered by John Mitchell and Ben Humphries (Enter Shikari/Architects/You Me at Six), mastered by Tim Turan (Emperor/Hurt Process) and with art by New York artist Adam Wentworth (Coheed & Cambria/ My Chemical Romance/Bloodhorse/Hush Sound), The Separation have produced a confident and assured debut, free from the shackles of generic convention and worthy of utmost attention. A furious post-hardcore set, spooning melodic riffs over the top like whipped cream - ROCKSOUND MAGAZINE If you are sick of bands who are afraid to break out of the constraints of what Punk & Rock can offer then these guys are worth checking out . - BIG CHEESE MAGAZINE
