What struck me straight away with this song was its remarkable capabilities to transcend me back into my late teens with only 10 seconds of the song, hours wasted playing Tony Hawks pro skater knowing all the words to such bands as Bad Religion, Papa Roach and more unknown British bands as Kneehigh, Waiting for Taylor, Gash and more recently amongst the American scene, Yellow Card springs to mind. The opening is in your face, very gritty, and makes you stand up and take notice. Once your mind has had a chance to recluse away from the hectic start, you ease back into your chair like a geriatric triathlete wishing for a break in proceedings. Your ears are pierced with a downright dirty sounding baseline that encompasses the mood of the song, then the inevitable pounding of the guitar stirs the mood back into a frenzy of excitement as you hit the chorus. It’s a formula that has worked time and time again and delivers in this aspect as well. This song grew on me the more I listened, I would have hoped for a longer introduction, it felt like eating a big fat juicy apple with a rotten core, I was a little disappointed to have continued eating to an extent. The words are simple and to the point, and for this my only negative issue was the length of the track, I felt the last minute dragged on and it could easily have sufficed at 3 minutes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this track, from its sound production, to a clear singing voice, there is nothing worse than trying to understand what the singer is singing about. If you like something a little heavier in the indy scene then this is a good option.
I do not want to get into a star, or out of 10 ratings, it’s either a buy or not a buy buy. No messing around just straight to the point.
IT’S A BUY
