| This Burning Age - Tatterdemalion |
Release Date: 28th October 2016
When you call your band This
Burning Age and have a frontman called Friday you are setting yourself up to be
judged as a slightly pretentious outfit but if you’ve learned anything by now I
hope you’ve learned that we don’t judge books by their covers around these
parts. Nevertheless, the Birmingham 5 piece are to be approached with caution,
such is the caustic and acerbic nature of their single ‘Tatterdemalion’ which
burns brightly and sharply. The throbbing, rolling bass line drives things
along relentlessly while the snare punctuates things like an annoying younger
sibling banging on your bedroom door with alarming rhythmic aptitude. Friday’s
voice is an accomplished wail with just enough gravel to be appealing as the
single drags in influences from the likes of Incubus, At The Drive-In, Smashing
Pumpkins, Sponge and all the darkest bits of the 90s grunge scene. This Burning
Age is still a bit of a pretentious band name but then all the best ones have
already been taken and when the music is this good, who cares about the name,
right?
