A Leeds four piece who
have consistently grown their fan base since starting up eight years
ago, The Mexanines have grown from a talented but predictable indie
proposition to something genuinely fresh. Their new single, ‘Rocket’,
is released at the end of September, and marks the start of a new
string of songs which will presumably be followed by an album in the
fullness of time. If ‘Rocket’ is any
indication, The Mexanines have developed a great maturity to their
new work, and a quality of sound which matches any indie band
currently out there. By blending subtle electronic touches into their
rock groove and screaming guitars, they add a new dimension to a
trusted formula.
The melodies are subtle
enough that they don’t immediately suggest themselves as earworms,
but a couple of listens in they will work their way under your skin.
The verse vocal, delivered in an almost throwaway low register, sets
the table nicely for a more bombastic chorus. With support slots
already under their belts with the likes of Embrace and Pigeon
Detectives, The Mexanines are no strangers to big venues and large
crowds. With more songs like this, they have the potential to
headline in those same places in the relatively near future.
