CALL THE DOCTOR are here
and seeking world domination with their own brand of pop punk. CTD is an excellent
EP with upbeat tunes, stabbing rhythms and some fabulous Siouxsie style vocals.
There are some really good riffs that give a passing nod to the current indie
scene (without losing the pop punk feel) and the songs bounce along. Call The
Doctor even drag a ska punk vibe into the excellent Fit To Dance.

Call The Doctor are a female
fronted Bristol (UK) based jerky pop/punk/dance band, blending so many different
elements together it's unbelievable.
This mini album was recorded and mixed over 10 days by Paul Tipler (Idlewild/Placebo/Elastica)
which is amazing considering the quality of the songs on display here.
Vocalist Patti Aberhart has a great and distinctive voice, which really adds
an extra spark to the six tracks, of which include stand out tracks 'For Your
Leisure' and 'Little Bones'.
Call The Doctor have all the ingredients needed to be huge given that they get
the right exposure, and have already been featured on Steve Lamacq's unsigned
band of the week, BBC Bristol Introducing's Record of the Week, Gill Mill's
(NME Radio) Best Of Myspace podcast, and had their track, 'Gregory, You're a
Star' daytime playlisted on BBC Bristol, it looks like they're on the right
track and knocking on the right doors!
