FloodHounds have released their new single ‘Something Primeval’. The trio have been selling out headlines in London and Sheffield and playing packed support slots with the likes of The Blinders, Calva Louise, BlackWaters Avalanche Party as well as shared festival stages with False Heads, and Demob Happy. Not only that the band have been Championed by BBC Introducing Sheffield, and were winners of a Pirate Studios’ National apply to play competition, and joint winners of Sensoria Festival’s Composition award, presented to the band by Steel City musical icon, Richard Hawley.

Swarming in raw sharp guitar riffs, slinky bass lines and punchy rock n roll swagger, ‘Something Primeval’ is quite the knockout alternative track. FloodHounds have created a tune whose melody strolls in, cool collected and sleek while the blistering instrumental backdrop whirls around in a display of anarchy. It’s a wild and tameless number as pounding drums stomp about sharp gritty guitar lacerations creating a hefty bruising foundation. Majestic moments within the track are created through rough and tumble squeals on guitars coupled with warm harmonica wailing throughout and dynamic vocals cooing over the eerie melody. ‘Something Primeval’ is a thrilling dark track from FloodHounds. 

This band have a wonderful ability to present exhilarating tunes drenched in impressive musicianship. Their tightly honed sound and intoxicating blend of blues, alternative and rock n roll is definitely worthy of attention.
