about

Following on from the critically acclaimed Gorilla Tactics album, Better Life is the long- awaited new release from 300ft Gorilla.
The release of Gorilla Tactics heralded the departure of singer Graham Parker. Within 6 months, Paul “Hutch” Sloway had joined and the band have been building momentum ever since. Their superb live shows have attracted great reviews, for both performance and songs, culminating in the release of this EP.
Hutch has contributing heavily to the writing process along with the band’s main songwriter Paul Hindmarsh. The band now has a new more raw, energetic and direct sound, whilst still retaining the rock solid rhythm section of Mick Robson and Neil Lough and the inventive and original guitars of Paul Hindmarsh.
As with previous releases, Better Life was produced and recorded by bass player, Neil Lough at the band’s studio between October 2008 and May 2009.

Reviews:
Sea of Tranquility - Better Life EP Review - Sept 2009

"By combining elements of King's X, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Living Colour, the UK-based quartet 300ft Gorilla returns with a new EP and a new vocalist.
300ft Gorilla ups the funk factor on these four songs, with "Mr. Raspberry is Dead" and "Stay Awake" coming closest to Living Colour's classic sound, circa Vivid and Time's Up. These guys don't monkey around: You can hear the raw energy that courses through the veins of this 300ft Gorilla, and the band crunches in all the right places. Paul Hindmarsh's frenzied fretwork, in particular, is all over this thing. Better Life is not as diverse as 2007's debut, Gorilla Tactics, but at a mere 17 minutes, it's nowhere near as long. The EP does, however, hint that better things are indeed on the way… "
