El Blackbirds - Electricity (Single Review)

El Blackbirds are an up and coming four-piece Indie Rock N Roll band from Liverpool. The quartet consists of; Shaun Hough on lead vocals & guitar, Callum Kelly on lead guitar, Liam Rudge on bass and John Appleby on the drums. El Blackbirds sound very similar to the likes of Oasis, Catfish & the Bottlemen and Arctic Monkeys. Their new single is called 'Electricity' and it is jam-packed full of quirky guitar riffs, contagious melodies and catchy lyrics. 'Electricity' was released in June as a taster of what is yet to come of the band, as they have only been together for five months professionally.

The track starts off with a deep sound on a distorted electric guitar; soon accompanied by the other punchy guitars and rhythmic drums, shortly followed by Hough's distinctive vocals. When the lead vocalist, Shaun Hough sings the first verse he mentions;

"The way you make me feel, I wanna scream and shout."

The rest of the song remains strong and speedy, with no lost energy. Which leads to the whole song relating back to this line as Hough shows his passion and affection for this person throughout the rest of the song through his vocals as he states;

"You make me feel like electricity."

Hough repeats this line several times throughout this song, which makes the track very catchy. I am intrigued as to what is yet to come of this band, as I think that they may have plenty more tricks up their sleeve. You can find this track on the link below. Good luck with your future endeavours, and I wish you all the best of luck. Watch out!
