Double Handsome Dragons (EP)

Double Handsome Dragons are a semi-instrumental band fromPeterborough, UK . They are four young males: Phil Mitchell (guitar), Dan Kerr (guitar), James Mitchell (drums), and Simon Moore (bass).
Fred Nolan describes their music in his review on The Silent Ballet; "Extended clips from old movies, campy sci-fi film trailers, and infamous political speeches share real estate with savage guitar riffs, concussive rhythm sections, and space-madness electronica.  The track list steadily courses with more and more adrenaline, each successive cut delivering a better dose than the last.  Hard rock, alt-metal, hip hop, and straight-up indie rock all make cameo appearances here, while the old soundbites do nearly all of the talking. Double Handsome Dragons speaks a larger message of resistance and freedom."

Jason Murdock has a word to say about them on his review on GiggingNI.com: "Double Handsome Dragons hit the stage with the ferocity and kind of wide eyed passion usually reserved for a band with nothing to lose, it is clear that you have stumbled into a room where something very special is going down. this band have something that many bands should hope to achieve in their lifetime, which is a focus on passion, unrelenting attitude, and tight playing that ensure that Double Handsome Dragons will be back."

The EP was ready in summer 2010 but the band fought to get the copyrights of the samples they used such as Chaplin's "The Great Dictator" final speech. The problem has been solved. It's time to let go!
