SINGLE REVIEW: The Bohemes - Weekend Wasteland

Single Review
Written By Amy

The Bohemes' 'Weekend Wasteland' conjures an imaginary club scene blending the raw energy of CBGB's with the inclusive vibe of The Haçienda—a sanctuary open to all, embodying a spirit of late-night revelry and unbridled creativity. Brothers Léon Huisman on guitar and vocals, Gabriël Huisman on drums, alongside Kevin Smits on guitar and Redmar Hiemstra on bass, hail from The Hague and draw inspiration from 00's guitar icons like The Libertines and Arctic Monkeys, while carving out their unique musical identity.

The track pulsates with electrifying guitars and a relentless drum backbone, underscored by a driving bassline that anchors its infectious hooks and anthemic chorus. With a nod to the swagger of Oasis, 'Weekend Wasteland' delivers indie rock with a punch, blending nostalgic Britpop influences with a contemporary edge. It's a testament to The Bohemes' ability to create music that captures the essence of youthful abandon and musical innovation, inviting listeners to join in the sonic journey of the 'Weekend Wasteland' experience.

By day I'm a Leaks, Condensation, Damp and Mould Resident Liaison Officer and by night I'm CRB's admin bitch, reviewer extraordinaire, point and hope for the best photographer, paperclip monitor and expert at breaking anything technical then expecting Scott to fix it!

I'm into all kinds of music the more obscure the better (my music taste is definitely better than yours 🤪😜) with my fave band being The Wonder Years.
