| Hypophora - Youth/Caught |
Release Date: Out Now
Have you ever wondered what kind
of music the kids of Cornwall are making these days? Well, Truro trio Hypophora
are a good place to start if you’re interested in finding out. New single ‘Youth’
is a clattering, rambunctious racket with power and finesse in equal measure as
the band slot in behind LWM favourites Berries with influences in the Reuben,
Biffy Clyro and early Incubus patch in the middle of their indie rock Venn
diagram. The guitars are System Of A Down level intricate while the bass and
drums are so tight you’d be lucky to get half a shandy out of them. Leading
lady Katie McConnell has that rare thing these days in that she has
uber-powerful lungs mixed in with a real vocal style that should see these guys
play listed on a whole range of Rock shows and channels like Scuzz in no time.
There’s the bonus of extra track ‘Caught’ here which is slightly more
considered but packs no less of a punch with a growling bass line and 90s
grunge guitars underneath McConnell’s clenched teeth vocals. This is small town
frustration borne out with guitars and drums (my favourite, how did you know?)
and it is utterly enthralling stuff. No more do you need to wonder about the
kids of Cornwall, the answer is here and the answer is good. So good.
