| Berries - Wild Vow |
Release Date: 5th July 2017
There have been a few successes
over here at LWM towers recently with bands we’ve backed getting their hugely
deserved success and London trio Berries are just doing their precautionary
stretches to make that leap up to the next level. New single ‘Wild Vow’ is
another statement of intent from Holly, Lauren and Lucie as it opens with a
feedback growl before setting in to those trademark angular guitars that sound
so post-grunge that it’s hard to believe they come from this side of the pond.
The breakdown is so assured as the rhythm section settle in to a sleazy,
menacing lope and the guitar solo twitches and screams like a sweating,
soul-tortured character in a David Lynch movie. Berries retain their punk ethic
with keeping this comfortably under the 3-minute mark and to the point but this
is more expansive that straight up punk. My only criticism (constructive though
it may be) is that I think they’re still searching for a way to fully capture the
power and energy of their live sound on recorded format but that will come. For
now, just get involved in whatever way you can – especially the good folks of
Manchester, London and Liverpool where they are playing this summer. Oh, and I'm loving the artwork too.
