Roll up, roll up, Ecstasy going free! Get yours here!
Now we have your attention, before you all rush, whilst 'Ecstasy' is free - by way of a free download - and it may well invigorate certain parts, and is both safe and legal, it is, however, for aural use only.
This is the debut single from new Brighton four-piece The Island Club which has just been released online two days ago. Formerly known as Vacant Age when they set up last year - after meeting at university - as a five-piece, they have now seem to have dropped the fifth man and changed name to, quote, "pursue our image." That statement may need some clarifying, suffice it to say that drawing influence from the likes of Peace to Alt-J, they received some approbation from gigs they played locally and tracks uploaded online - check out 'Only Love' below - and a certain live promoter has described frontman Michael Askew (that's him lighting the fag on the Soundcloud above) to us as "a legend". Worth checking out on that alone.
Although new song 'Ecstasy' is more than worth a listen, with a nice fresh, slightly trop-pop, sound, complete with a tremendously catchy chorus line that is guaranteed to stick in your head. The track is a DIY bedroom recording that was mixed and produced by the band themselves.
Sounds good to us.
The Island Club are: Michael Askew - vocals, rhythm guitar; Dan Ely - bass; Julien Forsythe-Lewis - lead guitar; Sam Cantlon - drums.
They are augmented live by the addition of : Anderson Bell - trumpet; Aidan Chadwick - trumpet; Aimee Blowers - backing vocals.
