"The gift that keeps giving"

Hot on the heels of previous releases 'Pyramids', 'I dont get it' and 'Crossfire Fever' December 30th sees the release of their latest track 'Weekend', in keeping with their style bringing you another undeniable anthemic indie banger. If you like huge guitar riffs, driving bass lines and energetic vocals then this is for you. THIS IS WAR! is the gift that keeps giving, each new track raises the bar and this latest offering is no exception.

"Huge guitar riffs, driving bass lines and energetic vocals"

Opening with a stomping bass line and catchy guitar hook driven by a thunderous drum beat that has you instantly nodding your head and tapping your feet in approval, it has that relentless energy that we come to expect from these guys. Proper indie rock with a smattering of old school punk/new wave what more do you need. Paul's vocal carries that inevitable swagger and verve that carries the track forward, powerful, emotive and energetic.

"Swagger and verve"

The chorus is a guitar driven explosion of sound leaving you wanting more. Its anthemic and lifts the track to a new level. The whole track is packed full of raw energy, thunderous drums that pummel the ear drums, driven rhythm guitars power through the verses and chorus backed with subtle lead lines. This is by far their best track this year, with the bar set so high now the album should break through the ceiling. Bring on 2023!
