Our friends from Babies got in touch with us this week, dropping us their new single, 'Makeout/Breakout'. The indie three piece from the City of Culture are a band we introduced to you over on our old site, riffed.webs.com, and since then they've been forever marching forward.
'Makeout/Breakout' is three minutes and seven seconds of to the bone, melodic indie riffs and catchy carefree lyrics that opens with frontman, Ryan Smith, sounding like a werewolf of some kind with a short few seconds of 'Oooh'ing'.
Then, 'Makeout/Breakout' erupts into an explosive indie treat with a powerful slam of the kit as well as a tad of plectrum spamming before settling into an effortless verse of notes accomponied brilliantly with those carefree lyrics from Ryan. "Makeout/Breakout, Makeout/Breakout", a simple and uncomplicated chorus that continues to repeat itself in your head until you listen again and again. With clear influences from the likes of JAWS, we're sure 'Makeout/Breakout' will go on to be an indie anthem, sparking the nodding of heads and the tapping of toes within gig venues all across the country very very soon.
