AUSTEROS
- 'I've Got This' review
Don't
you just love that feeling when a part of a song just indescribably
'clicks' with you and gives you goosebumps? Well, the chorus to 'Dead
Cells', the second track of this new EP by AUSTEROS, gave me exactly
that feeling. If I were cool I'd probably say it gives me life, but
I'll just say I had to replay it very quickly after first hearing it.
This three-piece now located in Bristol play indie-punk in a
relatively clean fashion with great, bright guitar melodies and
catchy choruses with really cool vocal harmonies, all wrapped up in
short, energetic pop punk tunes. I couldn't help but notice how much
the vocalist sounds like Billie-Joe in old GREEN DAY, and actually
musically it isn't far off (think everything before and including
'Warning'); chuck in some of THE ERGS, maybe MODERN BASEBALL if
that's your thing, and NEIL YOUNG and you won't be far off I reckon.
Best thing you could do would be to check this out for yourself
though; every track is really strong, including a lovely, touching
acoustic one half way through. Great stuff, and it also has awesome
artwork!
