Charly Bliss – Westermarck

| Charly Bliss - Westermarck |
Release Date: Out Now
I love this song. Straight up, infatuation
on the train, love at first sight, love this song. Partly, it’s because New
Yorkers Charly Bliss remind me of that period in the 90s when bands with female
singers or all female bands were prominent and writing great tunes. ‘Westermarck’
is, by the band’s own admissions, bubblegum grunge but it’s also a slice of
riot-girl garage with a razor blade smile and it’s damn infectious. From
frontwoman Eva’s squeaky voice which is pure Tanya Donnelly to the perky drums
and scuzzy guitars this is pure gorgeousness that reminds me why I loved Belly,
Veruca Salt and Lush so much back in the
day. Consider the kick ass chorus and grunge-tastic pop-fuelled video and you’ve
got yourself a song to fall in love to and with. Oh, and they’re heading to the
UK for their first ever British dates too so that’s a bonus!
