Living Up To Their Name
Melding a raucous chunk of rock to a seductive blast of blues, Shoreditch five piece, The Wow Signal, have managed to create a intoxicating cocktail to tantalise and tease.
Disjointed, jerky guitars crash in, slamming you from pillar to post as the eclectic brilliance of ‘Infinity’s Lobby’ saunters in with an overly confident touch of arrogance that demands undivided attention and what’s more you’ll be only too eager to oblige. Marking its entrance with a screech of guitars that charge headfirst into a crash of drum beats, ‘Infinity’s Lobby’ wastes no time in inflicting a heaving chunk of smouldering rock, bristling with swagger filled vocals, colossal beats and a vintage slice of cool that could have strayed straight out of the ‘70s. Riotous retro rock injected with a healthy fist full of originality, ‘Infinity’s Lobby’ is an exhilaratingly exuberant blast of rock to make you feel truly alive once again.
B side, ‘Purr Right’ finds The Wow Signal increasing the retro vibe even further as Bowie-esque vocals pulsate with an irresistible blues tone that joins forces with a groove heavy dose of guitar driven melodic mastery, niftily throwing in some tasty riffs to guarantee that ‘Purr Right’ will have the dance floor in full rock out mode within a blink of an eye.
Too fresh to be billed as mere classic rock, The Wow Signal skilfully combine the old with the new, tempting all as they take what is sure to be one more giant step up the music ladder.
