Over the past 12 months The Chemists have been really
busy either touring with high profile bands such
as Feeder and The Music, and when they are not touring
they are releasing new singles, there new single
‘A Love Like No One Else’ is the forth
single that I have come across and reviewed by The
Chemists and they still haven’t released their
debut album but it is scheduled to be released later
in the year.
If you look at all the singles that The Chemists
have released you will notice that the band have
a wide diverse sound where each and every song
is so different from the last, you have ‘Something
For The Weekend ‘ which was very fast and
catchy, you have ‘Radio Booth’ which
was rocky and full of Queens Of The Stone Age
style riffs and no we have ‘A Love Like
No One Else’ which sounds like The Killers
mixed with Dorp and is officially the best song
I have heard from The Chemists so far.
‘A Love Like No One Else’ really
does have that trademark Killers sound and its
all down to the way Johnny Benn’s vocals
come across as they come across so powerful leaving
a slight catchy vibe, the drums, guitar and bass
build up throughout the song but never get to
heavy which leaves such a soothing vibe throughout
the song.
The B-side ‘Sooner Or Later’, is
very blues sounding and shock horror this time
around Johnny Benn’s vocals remind me very
much of those of Johnny Borrell from Razorlight,
the song thrives on a bouncy bassline and features
a good selection of explicit lyrics with Johnny
Benn singing “This place is getting tired,
I’ve slept for far too long, I think the
fuckers know, the fuckers know I’m right,
I smash you to the floor like I did before”.
It seems that The Chemists get stronger with
each single they release, which is a really good
sign as with four really good singles released
so far we already know that the debut album from
them is going to be worth the wait as it will
feature at least four good songs, I just hope
they have polished up on their live show a bit
more as when I saw them last November I was very
bored and slightly disappointed.
4/5
