SARPA SALPA – SINGLE REVIEW


Sarpa Salpa – Casanova 
Sarpa Salpa - Casanova

Release Date: 14th February 2019

Calling your single ‘Casanova’ and releasing it on Valentine’s Day may seem like a cynical marketing move but when you’re a band trying to make your name in the world you’ve got to use every trick in the book. Northampton’s Sarpa Salpa are the aforementioned cynical marketeers but the track is anything but cynical with a twitchy, jerky and edgy guitar riff lifted from the Dutch Uncles or Young Knives playbook. That energy is matched with the kind of smooth indie-pop delivery that the Killers have made an international stadium filling career with to make a tune that is just a real treat. If I find myself in an indie club on Valentine’s Day this year then I really hope they stick this one on for a proper hands in the air dance before the night ends and I go home alone with a Kebab.


Live Dates:

17th February – West Street Live, Sheffield
23rd February – Verve Bar, Leeds
