Stu William’s first release on the Futurework's Music ROCK imprint is an emotive self produced 3 track EP using his uniquely engaging song writing skills.

The title track Vacant Smiles is a powerful song; likened to Green Day and tipping a nod to Buffalo Tom and Dinosaur Jnr; Vacant Smiles is driven along brilliantly by its lead and rhythm guitars. Vol is a brighter affair relying on rhythmic diversity and an edgy rock vocal. The EP is rounded off with Hostile Hands, an uptempo melancholy affair with the Bateleur himself taking full control of the vox and melodies.

All in all great package to kick start the label.
