SINGLE REVIEW: The Review - World's Fair
The Review's latest single 'World's Fair' is a cacophony of protesting, pulsating drums, gritty bass, and dirty guitars.
There are dark, infectious hooks and raw frantic energy topped with raucous punk-inspired vocals. Portions of fuzzy distortion battle against the pounding drone of chaos as the track blasts at every opportunity. Pensive darker moments erupt into mosh pit igniting grandeur. The Review balance hook-heavy riffs with a full-on slugfest of exciting carnage. They show what they have to offer as musicians alongside a pure punk attitude.
The only thing I found difficult with 'World's Fair' was deciphering the words which, as a lyrics kinda gal, I found frustrating. I picked up on the line "you're all so full of shit" so believe the track to be a politically charged rant. The Review clearly have something to say and I'd love the opportunity to fully appreciate their words.
Overall 'World's Fair' is a piercing punk anthem from a band I think have a lot of potential. It will be exciting to watch their journey.
