Forever Cult - Fuxx EP (Clue Reords)

| Forever Cult - Fuxx EP |
Release Date: 7th October 2013
Two of my favourite new artists
of the year, Narcs and Allusondrugs, have been nurtured and developed by Clue
Records so when I was sent the new EP by another of their artists, Forever
Cult, I was understandably moist with anticipation. Fortunately, the Yorkshire
trio don't disappoint with this three track EP that shows off their effortless
ability to fuse punk tendencies and melodic leanings with a mid-Atlantic drawl.
Opening track 'Sinking' has elements of Engine 88 and the Wrens about it whilst
remaining resolutely indie at the same time. 'Graves', however, has more of an
Arctic Monkeys feel about it, with a lip curl sneer and a sense of the
glamorous - despite the song title. Final track 'Luck' (not big on long titles,
Forever Cult) starts as a lament with swagger but soon becomes a chugging
juggernaut of a love song that many a band would be glad to have on their
albums. I'm holding on to the hope that Clue Records are going to put together
some kind of label tour otherwise it's going to take me an awful long to catch
all three of their future stars live from my outpost here in the Westcountry.
Go on Clue, you know you want to...
