Sorry I haven't posted for a while but I've been so tied down with homework recently that I have just not had the time! Anyway, today's post will be about "Park Bench Society"'s EP Forest Gate. You can buy or listen HERE
Background Info:
Park Bench Society are an acoustic, indie, alternative and Ska band from Loughborough. They say they are influenced by The Rivers, Jamie T, Arctic Monkeys, Tom Waits, John Mayer, Bon Iver, The Kooks, Steve Hewitt and Vampire Weekend.
They have a gorgeous acoustic indie sound. The track "Down by he bus shelter" is an amazing, catchy song showing off the vocal and song writing ability of the guys. This track is similar to Passenger but still has it's own unique style. The song "Room 66" starts off with the twangy guitar sounds and the slapping guitar drum , it sounds Spanish and is fast and upbeat. I love their accent which is really prominent in this song. The trumpets are a great addition. "Go home" is an angry and sassy song that is confident and clever. "Girl from the city" is another upbeat track that is unbelievably catchy and probably my favourite. These guys really think about their lyrics and backing which is obvious in their music. It is carefully sculpted, unlike early EPs in a lot of band's careers. This EP is full of upbeat acoustic indie tracks that get you dancing and thinking so I love these guys. I really hope they get big and your £3.16 would help a lot! .......
