Mirrorkicks come freshly-picked from the lush musical garden that is South London. Their debut single comes as Turning Up, an upbeat indie-rock guitar feast that makes its intentions known from the very start.
Gloomy in the way that greyish-yellow clouds appear with the impending doom of a rainstorm and everyone runs for the hills, Mirrorkicks are at the heavier side of the aural spectrum. However, sweet backing vocals (like a rainbow...yannow, /storm, rainbow?) deeply contrast with roaring guitar hooks and fierce drumming-like-they-mean-it. Their sound is a bit like a darker Janes Addiction if youre keen for a description.
Good stuff, its nothing groundbreaking but it makes a change from all the twee folky-indie noises doing the rounds at the moment. Fair play to Mirrorkicks, although I think the vocals are a bit too quiet for the thrashing...I bet theyre great live.
