Boxing Klub
Boxing Klub EP
This week I’ve had a listen to Boxing Klub’s self-titled 3
track EP. The first track, Culture Vulture, pretty much tells you the whole story; it
opens with an abrasive, dirty wall of noise and as it settles into its blues
tinged riff the track flexes some muscle as it drives through gear after gear.
There are obvious directions to point in terms of influences, let’s just say
ginger hair, desert, friend of Arctic Monkeys and leave that there, because in
its own right this EP is quite stylish and determined.
Time Machine plays with a more
‘British’ sound for the guitars and the vocals explore a slightly different
path. These songs are sufficiently hook-laden to snag the cardigan sleeve of
your interest as you brush past; not that I’m saying you wear cardigans, but I
bet you do!
Right On Trend
completes the trio of tracks and lends more weight to the argument that your Long Division 2013 itinerary
should include them. Stylish, confident and just gritty enough to grab your
attention is my conclusion. Now just pray that the weather arrives in time…
