Single Review
The Hickey Underworld - Blonde FireThe Hickey Underworld – Blonde Fire

I really enjoyed ‘Mystery Bruise’ by The Hickey Underworld, it was an surprisingly good song by a band that I had never heard of, the band are now back with their next single ‘Blonde Fire’ which is due for release on the 5th October with their self-titled debut album following a week later on the 12th October.

‘Blonde Fire’ Starts off with some cracking guitar riffs and machine gun style drumming, and throbbing basslines which all have the sound of a band who like to constantly jam and create a massive aggressive yet catchy sound, the song goes through various different twists and turns as it progresses, front man Younes Faltakh has a good set of vocals that are loud and clear for the majority of the song and softly spoken for a few seconds every now and again.

The Hickey Underworld may well be unheard of, but they are defiantly the best band that I have heard come out of Belgium for a very long time and I am sure the music business is going to get much more rewarding for these guys once their debut album is released.

4/5
