THE LOCARNOS
Give It To Me Straight
South West Recordings
Review by Peter Coulston
This is technically not an album, as it only has three tracks and is not, actually even an EP. But do we care; not a lot, as this is a good band that deserves to be heard. The Locarnos are from Somerset, and, like the cider, are quite addictive. As a band, they are hard to fault; good vocals, interesting guitar and a rhythm section that holds it all together. The opening song, “Give It To Me Straight”, has a ska opening but soon moves into upbeat pop that is very commercial and tight as a drum. This whole set is about good vocals and tight support that will appeal to today’s market. “Don’t Give Me A Hard Time” is, I have to say, a more mature song which could define how long they last in this business. More songs like this will certainly do them no harm. Should you buy this record, which you can download today and buy at the end of the month? I would, but check it out and prove me right.
Debut Single out on 17th March on iTunes.
