Backfire At The Disco - The Wombats Single Review
The Wombats
Single Review
Some people have been quick to put The Wombats groundbreaking achievement of selling out the 1,000 plus Carling Academy in Liverpool, as an unsigned act. Down to the fact that Arctic Monkeys fever meant that any act with the merest hint of a swaggering indie approach, was always going to be leaped upon. Since being signed to 14th Floor records and unleashing their debut album, they have set about setting the record straight.
Matthew Murphy’s lurid and demonstrative narrative, the cock-sure strutting instrumental approach and their ill-fated romantic tale-telling is put in a nutshell in ‘Backfire At The Disco’. This latest single is bound to keep this Liverpool quartet on the airwaves.
A ‘South Central Remix’ fuzzes out a Drum N’ Bass edge, giving the gyrators more ammo for some drunken stuff strutting. However, it’s a live version of the track featuring New Order’s Peter Hook on bass duties that will capture much of the attention this time around. All that was need was Mascherano on drums, then Liverpool and Manchester would have been truly United.
