These guys are from South Africa, and they're fucking
huge in their home country. Like, massive. Here
they are to mount their assault on the UK charts,
and, well, good luck to them. For me, if they did
an indie X-Factor started and the only judges were
Bono and Meatloaf, these guys would undoubtedly
win. It's quite catchy in the sense that it eventually
finds its way to a steady tap-along beat, but other
than that it's not my bag. The lyrics are painfully
Meatloaf and the vocal itself has an over-arching
sense of mainstream power rock ballads – sweeping
and wailing. No, the chorus isn't bad, everything
manages to come together for that, there's a nice
chord progression and the sound bulks out a bit,
but the verses are empty with a deep tom-led beat
and some faint synths that really don't do much.
For a band so massive in their home country, I was
expecting more. And although I can't judge them
on this single alone, this just isn't consistent
enough from start to finish. Perhaps I'm exaggerating.
3/5
