Unfortunately all 5 members of Athens band Easter Island have regular shaped heads, thus making it near impossible to pull jokes about the moniker they chose for themselves. Might be a little bit harsh to do so anyway given the shimmying artistry displayed on ‘Proud’ which is the first taste from their upcoming EP called ‘Better Things’. Ok, the guitars might sound a bit like ‘Yellow’ in places but the fey boy vocals are so in touch with the jingle jangle that such comparisons are soon forgotten. As clean shaven a song as you’ll get nowadays and pretty nicely sculpted too. KD

Nice song, but the “Yellow” comparison is unavoidable. Fortunately, “Yellow” is the only good Coldplay song I’ve heard.
Coldplay or not…Proud is a brilliant track!
No argument there.
