The Exhibition - The Crown/Coma (8.5/10)


Barnsley Natives ‘the exhibition’ certainly pack a punch that cannot go unnoticed with this entrancing double ‘A’ side Single release (OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE RECORDS).

“The Crown” kicks off with a sinister chilling intro which makes you ponder what journey this single will take you on. The track builds and builds with cut throat edge on lead guitar and thudding bass..... all wrapped together with swagger in the vocals. Almost perfect dynamics make this track weave in and out from start to finish with immense maturity regarding the structure and direction. Top track!!

“Coma” is a beautifully put together piece of work which seriously excites for many reasons..... Kicking off it’s stripped to the bones with a simplistic yet full sound; this dazzles and keeps you in close. The Vocals calmly enter spilling out the story that Pete Dand utters in such an accomplished manor. When reviewing new bands and there outputs it’s easy to criticize find faults and nominate comparisons......... The Exhibition has got me on this one!

It’s fresh yet mature and leaves your mouth watering for more.... i cant help that think that an album, given time and effort would be spectacular....
