Single Review
The Chemists  - This CityThe Chemists – This City

I really can’t believe that The Chemists are still releasing singles from their debut album ‘The Theories Of DR. Lovelock’ because over the past 18 months they must have released every song from the album in some shape or form as their latest single ‘This City’ happens to be the sixth single release taken from the album and other songs from the album were bundled with the singles as B-sides, anyway let’s not put too much of a downer on a good song as ‘This City’ is pretty damn good.

‘This City’ blasts off into a riff-tastic anthem from the start, it is big and bouncy with the drums smashing their way in a massive fashion with the meaty guitar riffs following in style moments later, the vocals from ‘Johnny Benn’ are big and catchy yet quite hard hitting in places, overall everything that happens during the 3minutes of ‘This City’ is well put together and perfectly in place.

The story of ‘This City’ is about what happens when drugs and drink meet jet lag and hookers in Hong Kong which has been experienced by vocalist Johnny Benn first hand, no matter what happened with Johnny that night we all know that a killer tune was the result of it.

4/5
