| Brakes’ new single is of no different quality from the majority of their overall output. And that’s a good thing. |

Clocking in at just two minutes, 'Hold Me In The River' is a catchy, driving track that epitomises Brakes’ sound.
While Eamon Hamilton idiosyncratically yelps about “religious fervour, creationism versus Darwinism and Scarlett Johansson” (the band’s own words), there is nothing in Brakes’ sound that belies any exhibitionist tendancies. This is not meant to be a detraction to the band in any way. 'Hold Me In The River' unashamedly provides good, simple indie rock music – something we don’t get to hear very often as bands look to push their way up the radio playlists.
Brakes have been supporting The Killers on their recent European tour. I would have personally paid the astronomical ticket prices just to see this support band teach their American counterparts what a simple melody and bit of spirit can achieve. |
