Now I do like to support a bit of local talent, and when they’re this good a recommendation comes so easy. So in a music industry led by artists who like to do controversial things - wear meat dresses or need a nod from Louis Walsh and stint in ‘boot camp’ to get noticed; it’s incredibly refreshing to find a band who are genuinely talented, raw so in their passion and gain their popularity by word of mouth and live gigs.
Without restricting them to the folk genre, this is more high energy stuff, an earthy drum met by the husky aggression of lead singer Richard Thomas. An incredible force when playing live, the same vigour is showcased in this track. Percussion, sliding guitar, foot-stomping - Brother & Bones are a musical army to be reckoned with.
It makes you want to stamp, sing and with this particular track, shout it from a rugged cliff top in deepest Cornwall as it reaches it a heart-pounding crescendo end. No less, a rewarding breath of fresh air.
From the EP ‘Skin’ (2011) / @BrotherAndBones
