Release Date: Out Now
Hey. You. Yeah, you. Have you
checked out Beach Riot yet? No? Well get a jog on, time’s a-wasting. New single
‘Slackers’ is a great place to hop aboard this seemingly unstoppable freight
train that takes less than three minutes to reach its destination. A pounding
bass line comes on like one of those instant hangovers – disorientating,
aggressive and painful – which, accompanied by the drums leaves you staring in
to the near distance and slightly panicked with a sweaty head. By the time
guitars hit their stride and the vocals kick in, you are left in no doubt that
this is the lost or undiscovered bastard child of Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’ and
Reuben’s ‘Racecar is Racecar Backwards’ (in my head, albums are adults and
singles are their offspring). The wonky
and intense guitar solo keeps the hangover survival theme at front and centre
as the grunge-slacker-indie-pop ride reaches a beautiful climax. One to bounce
off the walls to, for sure, but watch out for the morning after.
