Release Date: Out Now
Roadside are a band I’ve known
about for a very long time. Indeed, back in the days when I used to perform in
bands rather than just critiquing them, I’m pretty sure my first band supported
them in one of Plymouth’s various fleshpots. The band’s new single, ‘Disarm’,
has just been released and is their latest attempt to elevate themselves from
local gods to a national concern. Now, there’s a brave move in the video alone
as they go for over 90 seconds of film, no talking and no music before we get
the choppy and slightly menacing opening chords come crunching in. The
indie-pop jangle of the guitars and sad undertones give this a feel of the
Zutons or Space with its small town storytelling and dreams of something
bigger, something more. Now, the production quality is a bit sketchy but there
is a real song in here with quality to the songwriting. Put that together with
a nicely thought out video that’s had a bit of time spent on it and things look
positive for Roadside.
