I haven’t heard anything about Prego in quite
a few years now, I first heard them many years ago
when Fightstar first started off and did a tour
with Armor For Sleep and Fightstar frontman Charlie
Simpson brought his brother Edd Simpson and his
band Prego on the tour and they seemed to go down
pretty well during the shows that I saw them play,
however since then I haven’t heard a thing
about the band until a couple of days ago when their
new single 'Answers' came through my letter box.
As soon as 'Answers' starts you can tell it’s
a member of the Simpson family on vocals, Edd's
vocals are more like Will Simpsons than Charlie
Simpsons, but apart from the fact that Edd Simpson
is a frontman of Prego and his two brothers are
frontmen of other bands that’s where the
Simpson comparison starts and ends as each band
have their own individual sound and Prego have
a mellow soft rock sound with a bit of a progressive
edge. 'Answers' is a really strong sounding song,
it is quite laid back and also comes across quite
eerie and dark sounding, Edd has a fantastic voice,
the lyrics are well written, the drumming stands
out really well for all the right reasons and
the guitar riffs are pretty damn good too, in
fact the whole instrumental work during 'Answers'
works really well.
With the release of 'Answers' just around the
corner it might just well be the time that Prego
rise and start to get recognised within the UK
alternative music scene, if they have more songs
of this quality written and in the works then
success should come to them pretty soon.
4/5
