My Pleasure - Backyard Casino

@TwoDaff

By Daffs aka @TwoDaff


Comprising of James McEwen (Vocals/Guitar), Gareth Brown (Guitar), Ash Wray (Bass) and Daryl Collinson (Drums). BackYard Casino manage to capture the eyes as well as the ears through their high energy, explosive live gigs which have earned them a loyal, devoted fanbase. BackYard Casino have one goal! To have a great time whilst bringing rock n roll back to the masses in a way unseen since the likes of Oasis in the 90’s


The band have released four singles to date, ‘Come Through With The Lightning’, ‘Line by Line’, the indie disco summer slammer 'Silver Tongue' and most recently rock banger 'Nine Lives' which have all proved incredibly successful and have cemented themselves as crowd favourites in the bands live set.


The band have received international radio play from the likes of BBC Introducing, Hive Radio, Radio Indie Alliance (New York), FlyFlewRadio (Germany), Radio Xtra and Banks Radio Australia among others and come off the back of big hometown shows for Sesh Events including The Sesh at Polar Bear, Hull KR’s Craven Park and most recently for This Feeling!

Their 5th single 'My Pleasure' was released on 5th May and Recorded at York’s Young Thugs studio, produced, mixed and mastered by Johnny Hooker. Frontman James says


My Pleasure is one of the first tunes we wrote as a band and really represents what we’re all about, so to finally be able to get it out there in all its glory is something were really pumped for


A swaggering riff backed with a barrage of thunderous drums

Straight off the bat this track bangs, its loud, brash and in your face. It’s a track that deserves…no needs to be played louder than loud. Open with a swaggering riff backed with a barrage of thunderous drums it sets the scene for what’s to come. Its pure indie rock. Having not heard these before I find myself diving into their previous releases…that’s what I love about doing these reviews, you constantly find gems…and they glisten.


Its got swagger with a touch of venom

It’s packed with huge guitars, explosive riffs that set your ears alight. The vocal is immense, its got swagger with a touch of venom and a great range. Its high energy, fast paced and tight. This will blow the roof off any venue. It does have a punk edge fused with modern day indie rock. The solo’s soar and scintillate, (Think Oasis with added fizz!) backed with a barrage of drum fills and resonating bass lines which add depth and give the track added bite.


An energy thats incendiary

Its driven by the rush of guitars, relentless drumming with an energy thats incendiary, its an explosion of sound that allows the vocal to cut through, with an edge that Mr Gallagher would be proud of. Everything is on point, accomplished and..well...it sounds phenomenal.


It captures what rock is about…EXCESS!

It’s a rock n roll banger, anthemic to the core, its in your face and I for one love it. You really need to give these lads from Hull a listen, if you like your tuneage hard, fast and vibrant then this will be right up your street. It captures what rock is about…EXCESS! And that means we want more! What a tune, i'm a big fan of this!
