| Cavalry - Demo |
OK, I hold my hands up. When I
read that these guys had only formed in late 2013 and were already getting
championed by Radio 1 I admit that my first thought was that they must have
been constructed by some pop impresario with ridiculous hair and model
girlfriend. What seems to be closer to the truth, however, is that Cavalry are
just the latest in a long line of Liverpool bands with an innate ability to
write catchy pop tunes full of pathos and wisdom. The two tracks that have been
revealed so far start with 'Leaves' which is a heartbreaking song along the
lines of the Verve meets the Coral with a bit of Shack and some sombre country
music thrown in for good measure. 'Lament' is the other song on offer and it's
a slightly more delicate affair as gentle guitar notes dance like rain on a
windowsill as the vocals of Alan Croft stumble out across the grey day. The
song picks up to provide more of a stirring, inspirational mood for the
listener to immerse themselves in and this is where Cavalry excel. They might
not ever be featured on an 'indie disco floor fillers' CD compilation but if
you want well crafted, emotionally complex and catchy songs with lots of
guitars then these might just be your guys. Give 'em a call, they're not bad
for a band that's existed for less than a year, not bad at all.
