Recorded in the bedroom of lead vocalist/guitarist Mark Lawrence’s bedroom, Southampton trio Black Links purvey the same ethics that saw Muse’s trajectory take off quicker than the speed of light. Their disciples became awestruck with the Muse-isms that Black Links mirror- a cacophony of eerie rock (‘The Sea Inside’) with bellowing vocals from Lawrence that do-in-deed sound like came from the pointy faced Matt Bellamy at the mic. It’s this gloomy rock that’s the backbone of their debut EP ‘Resisting Movement And The Almost Advisory’…yes it’s quite a mouthful isn’t it. And you get the feeling that ‘Within Isolation’ live would be bolstered by an obligatory thundering light show of grandeur rock that’s more likely to give you a migraine than a dose of  a beatific spectacle. But Black Links blueprint is, as aforementioned a common trend, never really straying from the space rock that they seemed immersed in. Unfortunately, the resistance of movement will be to not pick this EP up again in a hurry.
