Bringing back the bare essentials of alluring and dynamic indie rock, New Zealand three-piece NAPOLEAN BABY! kick off a brand new year, with an indie anthem that begs for you to let yourself escape entirely into its energy.
Brilliantly catchy lyrics and a rhythmic flow that’s equally infectious – these building blocks guide us into the fast-holding grips of Blueprint. The band keep things simple but exciting, a clear sense of rising energy that blends raw vocal and guitar presence with a striking sense of movement throughout a rise and fall journey.
The lyrics are intriguing but not overbearing, holding close to a select few ideas – “These are the highs, these are the lows”, resounding with both familiarity and outright unexpected ferocity as things evolve.
As a means of building anticipation for their upcoming tour, Blueprint is everything it needs to be. The rock scene craves this kind of intricate fusing of pure band unity and passion with the accessible songwriting of pop and punk-rock that’s instantly engaging.
Meanwhile, the lyrics offer something a little left of centre, something refreshing and mildly mysterious. The concept is that of looking back at life once the good times have slipped by. The idea was to capture a level of freedom, being unconfined by any particular format or methodology, but being told of a certain Blueprint regardless that can provide the essence of a great journey.
Also primed to release their latest album, the band will set out on a tour of New Zealand, Europe and the UK, to introduce their infectious and rather timelessly addictive take on contemporary rock to stages big and small throughout the coming months. Absolutely one to watch out for.
