Dirty Dirty indie electro that just makes you want to dance! The mash of accentuated guitar with the rigorous voice of the lead singer makes sprung the type of thing that continues to play in your head long after you have stopped listening. The use of light and shade between the instruments makes for an intense build up that leaves the listener hanging on for more. This is the kind of thing i could imagine singing along to getting ready for a big night out or even listening to it along with a couple of hundred of people at a music festival. Really looking forward to seeing what else you guys have to offer in the future....

Electro pop goes arena. This is widescreen music and despite done on a limited budget, it gets its big intentions across. Could do with a bit of an edit though to have a bigger impact.

Despite starting off almost like an Elton John number, it soon moves into a cruisey electro pop number. I think the keys are a little too "spacey" though and the song needs a bit more energy in it.

It's pretty catchy indie pop, but the interlude and time change in the middle makes it kind of lose momentum. Cut out that bit and it would have got an extra star.
