Hoda - Exhale

| Hoda - Exhale |
Release Date: 26th May 2014
I've got to admit, with a single
called 'Exhale' which is being sold as a sexy track for the summer, I fully
expected Hoda to be something of a soulless pop strumpet with the autotune
turned up to 11. But it's not, oh no. Hoda are a London based trio fronted by
Tehranian born singer-guitarist Hoda Mohajerani who trade in guitar driven
alternative music with a razor sharp edge. 'Exhale' starts off as a moody, PJ
Harvey-esque piece of indie but by the time we hit the chorus Hoda are
channelling the Pixies, the Breeders and Veruca Salt with singalong lyrics and
driving riffs. The B-side, 'No Surrender', a mellower affair and is also 7
minutes long. The song starts with an acoustic melody before those edgy guitars
and clattering drums puncture the serenity. This is a great single to announce
your intentions with and I look forward to hearing some more from these guys.
