Idle Ross - 'Into the Thick Of It' (Single Review)

In September 2017 the birth was given to Idle Ross, a Sheffield four-piece who incorporate influences of Arctic Monkeys and Kasabian in their new debut single 'Into the Thick Of It' to be released Friday April 6th. The single was recorded at 2Fly Studios where the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Pulp and Milburn have all recorded records; and it was mastered by Pete Maher who's worked with the likes of U2, Jack White and The Rolling Stones, to ensure a perfect debut release.

A slow rhythm creates the foundation for the track and then lead singer Ross Green enters with his northern vocals and a slight snarl, "don't you think that things look different, in the night? I can't believe that you'd be such a hypocrite, wasting my time." The chorus lingers in the background, and this is where the song begins to pick up, and the Arctic Monkeys influence becomes especially prominent on the last verse sounding very 2013 AM. 

'Into the Thick Of It' is a classic indie tune, the outro is around the same length as the song, and the last minute is an explosion of guitar riffs by lead guitarist Sean Yeardley, and bassist Charlie Rodgers with Joel Haddon on the repetitive drums holding the rhythm. If you like Arctic Monkeys, you won't be disappointed. Out Friday.
