"A taster for the studio album announced for the autumn, TNT are back with this modern-edged sounding 5 track EP. Opener "Live today" is slick and more than acceptable and promises TNT-Fans, both new and old, something by way of atonement for those disappointed by "Firefly" and "Transistor". Song Numero 2, "Give me a sign", also operates on a similar level of quality to "Live today", sparkling with the top vocal talents of one Mr Harnell and the axe slinging theatrics of the God-like Ronni Le Tekro. "Satellite" then proceeds to tread water more than anything else and really doesn't do enough to get me out of my chair. "Hey love" also leaves something to be desired in terms of song structure but is "saved" by the frontman's high quality performance and Ronnie's electric solo. "Destiny" reverts back again to the quality of the first two tracks. A bit of a mixed affair but if this EP is an appetiser for the forthcoming album, then, overall I think we can safely look forward to the end of summer...."

TNT has lit the fuse for a dynamite comeback

"I've waited for this for a long time and even though this EP is a teaser, it is full of exactly what I hoped to hear. Tony's vocals are still full of melodic power, subtle breathiness and shear mastery of the microphone. The EP is sure to please any TNT fan while we all wait for the big release. There is definitely a difference between the sound of each song, but this time it rings clear that TNT is behind each one. Their mix of hard driving bass and drums, layered with Ronnie's classically influenced guitar work, lays the perfect bed for Tony's unrivaled and never ending voice. Maybe when the full album comes out these guys will finally get the exposure they deserve. With songs like "Live Today" and "Give Me a Sign", radio is sure to drive this stuff up the charts. Welcome back, guys."
