Monger loves this band so much that they’ve been booked to headline at our
October show in London as part of #Blogtoberfest. Now, you might think this
means I’m going to give them an automatically brilliant review but, like a
parent who has to teach their child in school, I might just end up being harder
on them. This latest single, ‘Written In Paint’, doesn’t give me much choice
though; It’s just awesome. A deceptively delicate guitar riff is soon blown
apart by that Biffy-esque angular thing they do so well and those uber-cool
vocals. The bass rumbles and the drums fill the gaps with Arctic Monkeys
tightness as they sing of loss and regret at the end of romance. Throw in a
snarling little guitar solo and an attitude that is somewhere between Lush and
Veruca Salt (y’know, ‘I’m gutted that you’re gone but screw you cos I’m way
better than that’) and you’ve got another finely crafted indie-pop-rock nugget
well worth your time.
