Nostalgic pop-punk vocals and cultural references fire up the old-school appeal and uplift of SOMETHING UR NOT‘s latest surf-rock single.
Built around an easy groove of power chords and lighter patterns, the voice and short lines of OH BABY introduce the unmistakable sound of this band in a way that’s both comforting and fresh – tipping its hat to the legends of yesteryear, whilst capturing a new sense of story and mild cinematic detail.
Ultimately a romantic declaration but a celebratory sound and style regardless, SOMETHING UR NOT effectively blend the personal and the relatable with this single, the ‘oh oh oh’ simplicity of a Brit-pop to Indie-rock hook injecting the lasting good vibes of the festival scene. All the while, these images and this voice, the unchanging pace and presence of the guitar groove, all lets SOMETHING UR NOT master their own sense of identity and recognisable flair as a modern band.
The live sound is likely to be where this band really captures a moment. Crank up the bass a little for that full punk-rock warmth, and this groove and vocal distinction will light up an anthemic sense of escapism that’s both nostalgic and refreshing.
From Beach Boys to Green Day and back, carving out a unique twist of playful freedom along the way, SOMETHING UR NOT offer a catchy glimpse of their debut album with OH BABY, and the band are on track for a huge year both in live shows and studio releases.
