Manchester five-piece Circus Wolves have released their new single ‘Tourist’. The band have developed a unique sound combining frenetic guitars with melancholic melodies. Band members Guy Aled Wynn Davies, Jim Ker,Jack Taylor, Ben Lawton and Cameron Tetlow wear their Mancunian influences heavily on their sleeves and share a love for northern soul and 60s rock n roll.
‘Tourist’ is a snappy high powered infectious track. Sharp shredding guitars pierce through the track with kinetic flames of fire while a flexible spring on bass bounces along behind lifting the track. Punchy drums pound throughout while ghostly backing vocals create an eerie spine chilling atmosphere. Stand out powerful vocals add a strong almost theatrically aggressive yet swagger induced quality and when that falsetto kicks in, oh my it’s goosebump inducing. These guys have given us a raw edgy track that exudes rock n roll panache with a Talking Heads- esque element. It’s a feverish blast of blistering alternative rock that marks these guys as ones to watch. Absolutely brilliant.
