Martin - There's a back log of tracks that have been sent through the UUC website that I'm now having to call on live reviewers to help clear a path. So taking centre stage for this one is Sam.
I’m going to step out of my normal
frame for a second and talk about a song by ‘Sherry Counsellors’ called ‘This
Could be It’.
The band itself have been supporting and headlining acts since
2010 where they’ve played alongside bands such as The Hoosiers. The bands
musical background is well built. They have performed in venues across London , Birmingham , Liverpool
and Manchester
‘This Could Be It’ starts off as a
typical build of enthusiasm, the bass drum pumps through your mind as you
anticipate the song to come. I particularly like the way the bass drum slithers
its way into the back of your mind and completes the atmosphere of the track.
It has a very indie feel to it and at some points I can associate it with ‘The
Bicycle Thief’ or ‘Minutemen’.
When the chorus breaks down it reminds
me of a dance track or something with a slight sidechain effect in it, the
drums move to an almost fanfare rhythm and it feels rather cheeky; it really
shows the power of this band and the song makes you want to get up and dance.
The vocals are very well done at this point and the lyrics are very much something you can relate to.
Another point that took me back to an
old dance tune was the fact that they had only a few lines of vocals apart from
the chorus where they repeated the name of the track a couple times. One thing
I will say about this song is when the drums dissipate the vocal harmonies come
out, slightly out of tune causing a slight clash in notes, but that is quickly
reclaimed by the chorus breaking out again.
All in all I quite like this song,
not my first choice of a track to listen to all day. Typical song structure
that makes for a good start built to a slightly less known chord structure.
