Mad Love – I’m Not A Smoker

| Mad Love - I'm Not A Smoker |
Release Date: Out Now
‘Angry Northern Teenage Noise’ and ‘Indie Music Antiheroes’
are just two of the descriptions this Huddersfield trio give themselves and
they sound like fine mottos to set your stall out to. ‘I’m Not A Smoker’ opens
with some strained and drawled vocals atop some delicate guitar a la early
Arctic Monkeys or the Longpigs. Just before the minute mark, however, a
swaying, braying and leery end of the night indie anthem lurches in to view.
The bass is the driving force here as these young’uns take direction from 90s
Britpop, slacker grunge and the Sub Pop back catalogue to create something that
lives up everything they’ve said about themselves. This is angry, there is a
northern accent in evidence, they are teenagers and boy is there a wall of
noise as they sing ‘Do you need another metaphor?’ as if they’re asking you all
out for a fight. I love the energy and the cynicism for ones so young, more
please.
