Barnsley’s Civic Green is a four-piece consisting of Danny Hall (vocals/guitar), Andy Lowman (bass/vocals), Gav Darley (drums), and Matt Walker (guitar). The indie quartet has signed with the impeccable These Bloody Thieves Records (False Heads, The Institutes) for the latest single ‘City Streets’.
Let’s check out their latest single and ‘There Is Always A Light’ from earlier in the year.
City Streets
The romanticism of The Enemy’s ‘Sing When You’re In’ flows through the guitars on this heart-pounding anthem.
Laced with heart, this is a clarion call for underdogs. As they decree ‘I don’t need nobody here / I’ll make it on my own’, it’s time for the underclasses to saddle up and join them in battle.
When that vaccine comes, beers will fly uncontrollably around arenas to this!
There Is Always A Light
Form the playbook that brought ‘More Than A Tramps Vest’ and ‘Hindu Times’, welcome back the radio-friendly indie hook.
They have a flair for Tom Clarke and Noel Gallagher’s style of lyrics. When frontman Danny Hall sings ‘what’s been lost, will come back again’ and ‘faces loved and lost they will live on’, an instant bond is formed between band and fan.
Robust, rebellious, and infectious, it sets the platform for indie classicism to soar once more.
