THE PICTUREBOOKS – SINGLE REVIEW

The Picturebooks – Wardance (Another Century) 
The Picturebooks - Wardance

Release Date: Out Now

German duo The Picturebooks are back with a new single (as well as an album) and it’s a good thing too, you lucky bleeders. ‘Wardance’ has that trademark heavy stomp before the guitars kick with a heavy, blues-grunge sound that makes the Black Keys sound like Celine Dion. “Wardance, bring the fire” they scream like a Viking war cry as the rhythm gets beaten out on the skulls of woolly mammoths and the guts are used as guitar strings. This might make them sound primitive but if you set this to a training montage in a film or an advert for a new Apple product it would sound primal but it would also sound uplifting, inspiring and vital.
