Bang On - Hands High Single Review

  • 26 January 2011

Big Dada release the first single from Bang On! 'Hands High'. Liverpool emcee Elliot Egerton is the vocal force behind the outfit who spits with a 'council estate' vibe championed by Skinnyman. The sound is hard hitting from the school of dubstep and grime. It creates a heavyweight 'punch' that should be a winner for many youths and a great representation from the Big Dada label. It's certainly not for the faint hearted as there is a strength and energy that is intense, that I really like, although the lyrical content is from the 'punk' element of grime that I don't feel will stand up to the truly proficient emcee, however it's all about youthful expression that can't be denied. Not bad.
