“Honesty didn’t get me anywhere, I know ’cause I read it in your diary…” starts the rather cliché pop-punk song that Welsh upstarts Attack! Attack! have chosen to release as their latest single from their debut album.
However, unlike most bands in their ever-growing genre, Attack! Attack! give this some welly, and make this track the pop-rock equilateral of a golden nugget. Hooky, catchy, and with an excellent chorus, this song explodes past the intro, and takes straight to your lips after just one listen. Frontman Neil Starr‘s Patrick Stump-esque vocals provide a brilliant key that drives the engine of the song.
The boys are on to big things with this; the question is, how long will it be until the band get the recognition they so rightly deserve? Methinks with some more gems like this one, not very long whatsoever.
- George.
