Band members Nicolai Kozel (Guitar), Andrew Parkinson (Drums and Vocals), Lorant Polya (Bass), and Justin Ross (Guitar and Vocals) give us a trippy delusional track reminiscent of sixties rock. It’s a dreamy hazy addictive high of seduction smothered in sultry psychedelia and sweet luscious melodies. With twinkling guitars layered upon a soft beat this track swoons with a laid back steamy stroll and elegant glide. Classy yet sinister featuring creepy backing vocals and eerie guitars. It’s a smoke and mirrors track drenched in steamy hazy illusions and mystery which is chilling and hair- raisingly enticing. It’s a must listen.
Ontario-based quartet The Bandicoots have released their new single ‘Rocky Horror’. After self-releasing their first two EPs (‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’ 2015 and ‘Quarters at the Penny-Arcade’ 2016), band members Nicolai Kozel (lead guitar), Andrew Parkinson (drums), Lorant Polya (bass) and Justin Ross (vocals/rhythm guitar) have quickly gained recognition in their hometown, finding themselves playing to sold out crowds. Their singles ‘Overnight Innovator’ and ‘Could You Get Me To Tomorrow?’ from their sophomore release, climbed CBC’s Radio 3 Top 30 chart for up to 7 weeks and even made CBC’s best of year-end list. The latter single came in just shy of 250k plays on Spotify since it’s release. Their quest to the top continues with new single ‘Rocky Horror’. ‘Rocky Horror’ is a crawling laid back indie track wriggling with eerie goosebump inducing tones driven by a stellar bassline and punchy beats with a shrilling guitar that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Soaked in effortlessly cool groovy swagger this track struts in and lures with charming mysteriousness. With smooth crooning vocals teamed with wailing backing vocals its chilling stuff that is insanely addictive. Coated in dark tones yet filled with bouncy vibes The Bandicoots give us a gripping enigmatic track that is perfectly thrilling.
