Good music makes you move, but great music moves you.
Have you ever listened to a band whose music makes you feel invincible? Like you could take on the world armed only with a bad-ass attitude? Behind Closed Doors did just that to me. When I heard their awesome tunes, I felt like I could be a leather-clad, Harley riding, uber-cool force to be reckoned with. Alex Turner's dream girl Arabella, has nothing on the vibes that Behind Closed Doors evoke.
Their music is a gritty, raucous, raw fantasy. The Rolling Stones specified that their album 'Let it Bleed', "must be played loud". However, Jagger hasn't heard Behind Closed Doors. Lead singer Julian informed me to: "play these songs through some good speakers, LOUDLY". Naturally, it'd be rude not to!
This band are the quintessential loud, ballsy, aggressive edgy rock band and are the masters of evoking a euphoric rock vibe. It's no wonder they're regulars on EGH Radio - they've even recorded and hosted a show for them. Furthermore they've featured on Radio Humbleside and BBC Introducing and have worked with the legend that is John Spence.
The dynamic three-piece have concocted a trio of edgy rock anthems, fuelled by ferocious guitar riffs and poignant Herculean drums, creating a satisfying full and rich sound. It's the musical embodiment of sticking two fingers up to anything that's bringing you down with a gorgeously alluding undertone. I never thought something could make me feel sexy and turbulent at the same time.
'Somebody like you' draws parallels with early Greenday, but is heightened by siren like guitar solos and more bluesy mature lyrics and vivacious drums. When all theses elements are combined, the sound will enable all present to indulge in some wild dance moves. It's been added to my playlist entitled: 'Shake what your Mama gave you". (We all have something like that - don't deny it.)
'Creepy Chris' is yet another brilliant rock track, but has the added quirk of tongue and cheek lyrics. The song makes me reminiscent of teenage banter and having a blast with your mates. The track features on the Cottingham Springboard Festival 2015 CD and goes on sale this weekend. I'll certainly be buying a copy.
'Well Now' showcases the band's gritty edge to in all its divine splendour. The song is guaranteed to leave audiences completely sated through its irascible yet captivating riffs and mellifluous vocals. If you like 'in your face' music, you'll love this.
The boys are scheduled to release a full album late summer/autumn time and I cannot wait to see what else they produce. Hats off to you lads.
