Words: Ellie Ward
Our One To Watch band of last October, Storms, have certainly been one worth keeping an eye on.
Following their performance at the Isle Of Wight festival and the release of their debut track ‘Girl’, the grunge pop four-piece have revealed their second track 'Shame'.
The track, which is available as a free download from their website, drifts between enchantingly melancholic stomping verses and an anthemic chorus.
The band's writer and guitarist Felix Howes says ‘Shame’ is a song "about all the things we've done that make our skin crawl, when we think back on them. We all have these memories, whether they're momentary and embarrassing or perpetual and corrosive. The song tells the stories of a sex-addicted husband and a mother forced into prostitution. They contain the most powerful relationships we're supposed to hold in life: marriage and love for our children. I think it's screwed up how the act of physical love can be survival for one party and the downfall of another, all at the same time. To quote Ian Curtis: Love will tear us apart, again.”
