Attentive readers will recall I first raved about Walsh back in August; the short version is Barry used to be in a '90s Irish power pop band called The Fireflys, who were named after Groucho's character in Duck Soup, so I love him unreservedly from jump.
In any case, Barry modestly describes the above track as fading in "with a chainsaw riff before shuffling between the strut and stomp of Mod, four on the floor Northern Soul and the snark and swagger of New Wave, all the while surfing a wave of chugging guitars and stacked, heavenly Powerpop harmonies. It’s a gobstopper popsicle of a song so suck it and see."
And I couldn't agree more.
Meanwhile, you can find out more about Barry and download or stream more of his music over at Bandcamp here.
it's a good sound - the sentiment reminds me of 'i go for the up' by utopia
ReplyDeleteLove the song, love the band's playing, the singing has no personality.
ReplyDeleteOver all very good.
