When a band Emails into RattleMag asking to be reviewed, we occasionally find out selves ending up hooked onto their music. This is exactly the case with The Paisley Royals. These Leeds boys have just released their single 'Keeping Off The Track', and it's more than worth checking out.
The Paisley Royals are a Leeds founded Indie-Rock band united together for the love of Brit-Pop, post-punk and modern Garage Rock. They formed together as 2014 came to an end and thrive of the energy from their well constructed, strong spined songs with their catchy choruses, melodic guitar parts and most importantly, having a lively and up-beat back line. Their last couple of singles 'Flirtatious Beat' and 'Keeping off the Track' have received huge airplay from Alan Raw on BBC introducing.
The Paisley Royals are made by Liam Ainger- Vocals & Guitar Patrick Foster- Lead Guitar Andy Clark- Bass Alex Kirkham- Drums
You know a songs going to be good when a small drum part starts it off... I suddenly found my self dancing in my chair when drums met guitar, bass and vocals, an irresistible head nod had to be made, there's something about this that you just can't reject wanting to dance.
Indie is one of the most difficult genres to be a part of, you're always trying to find a unique sound within the genre. This is one of The Paisley Royals strong points. The meaningful love lyrics are combined perfectly with the upbeat guitar and drums with epic back line.
Being a drummer in a band, you have one of the most important roles. Drums construct the sound and everything around it, The Paisley Royals drummer Alex Kirkham does this amazingly, in beat every second and adding somewhat of an atmosphere to the music.
Just as important is the guitar and bass, another thing that The Paisley Royals members, Liam, Patrick and Andy do amazingly adding into the atmosphere that was already created.
And finally, vocalist Liam Ainger. What a prestige job he does, right? Keeping the vocals perfectly in tune with the rest of the instrumental, Liam earns his trophy as a vocalist.
I did wonder listening to this single why we're not seeing them play Academy sized venues... I could ramble on about how really good they are to be worthy of that, but instead I'll let you have a listen for yourself and decide. You wont be disappointed.
