There really has been
a huge bout of new music recently, with new bands emerging left right and
centre. Admittedly, most of these bands belong to the ever growing ‘hipster’
movement. However, The I.D are a refreshing post-punk four piece based in London.
Their sound is raw and unrefined good old fashioned guitar rock complete with
typically ‘punky’ heavy riffs.
The heavy and
distorted guitar along with the alluringly deep vocals in ‘Age Anti Age’ is Joy
Division-esque and reminds me somewhat of their song ‘Shadowplay.’ ‘Age Anti
Age’ moves into a horrendously catchy chorus with a more upbeat melody that you
will, without doubt, be singing all day long. Ian Curtis-esque vocals and
catchy choruses seem to be a theme throughout all of their available tracks.
There’s even a really cool and extremely arty video to accompany ‘Age Anti Age’
– this band have got everything sorted.
‘Bloodsweat and
Honour’ and ‘Own Designed Love’ fall into the category of songs that just need to
be blasted through your bedroom walls at full volume, and when your parents
come and tell you to turn that racket down, you’ll be there with your ‘teen
angst’ face on, air guitar-ing and fist pumping to the infectious punk anthems.
Both will be available on iTunes on October 29th.
The band introduced
themselves to me as "a Swiss born, two Welsh cakes and a good lad from Reading
who sometimes plays chess"; so a witty personality to add to their well written
music – what could be better?
Keep an ear out for
this band; they’ve got real potential!
