The indie four-piece from Stoke via Manchester are back with their new single ‘Blackholes (The World Eats A Weak Man)’. Once again produced by Gavin Monaghan, this generation’s Stephen Street, it is available on all platforms now.
Last time out, the four-piece delivered a blistering piece of rock ‘n’ roll. ‘Runaway’ was an anthem with great pop sensibilities begging for attention. This time out, those hooks turn to aggressive basslines, raucous riffs, and nihilistic synths.
This new combination glues everything with vitality and tension which breeds cohesive violence. It’s the sound of polemic and art colliding to produce a collective spirit for good. For any West Wing lovers, this is the bombastic rock version of Leo’s tale of ‘a man fell down a hole’. A defiant tale of mankind fighting back from the brink is always wanted, in 2021, it’s a dispensable ray of hope!
From the first Depeche Mode synth, lurking in the shadows is 2021’s most volatile guitar solo to date. The eruption is inevitable and, it doesn’t disappoint! It’s a wild adrenaline joyride that erupts from Mikel Lo Bosco’s axe which sets ablaze everything in its wake!
This new aggressive synth-laden sonic has opened a new world to the band. One which makes the prospect of their debut album a fascinating prospect.
