LOCALS – SINGLE REVIEW


Locals – Talkboy (Clue Records/Disorder
Locals - Talkboy
Recordings)

Release Date: 26th April 2019

The excellent Clue Records are back with a new singing in the shape of London soloist Locals and the first release is a ruddy delight. ‘Talkboy’ flies straight out of the traps and hares around the track like a greyhound possessed with the scent of a rabbit. The drums rattle, the guitars chug and the vocals feel like they were done in one take, full of nervous energy and a hint of youthful arrogance. There are elements of the Lemonheads, the Libertines, the Subways and early Jamie T about this so if you’re looking for a new indie hero to fall in line behind then you can stop looking, Locals is your man.
