Leed's UK Eades get down and dirty fusing proto punk, funk and 60's psyche on "Saying Forever"

"angular guitars bounce off each other"

UK's Eades swing in different ways, pulling sounds and twisting them like pretzels. This daring nature, this need to not be complacent and pump out the same pop melodies / ie chords (1,4,5,6) is likely the need to be different, to put square pegs in round holes, to make jagged, upside down progressions or jazz fused bass lines. In the fertile period of the mid 70's, the so called proto punk bands had the same musical D.N.A and so anytime I hear a band that has that spirit it is a fucking happy day. When I heard Eades' fun, funked up, indie prog pop Saying Forever I instantly thought of that period. The track not only has those proto punk attitudes wrapped in a funk bow but also have touches of 60's psyche rock and Mod tones too. The hooky bass and guitar mutations and especially the counterpoised opposing guitar lines is so sick. The vocal spread here also has a cool stiff collar 60's white funk swagger. The musical break down is cooly chaotic. Love this.

Leeds’ Eades fight anxieties with disco-punk on latest single ‘Saying Forever’.

"Coming out of uni we were all going through a lot of anxiety about our futures, particularly in music. And I know I was getting myself caught up in the pretty self destructive lifestyle I often find myself in during low times. I think the vibe of this track has captured what was going on in my head pretty well having the fun instrumental bouncing of the more stress stricken vocal delivery." Harry

Violently danceable, new wave inspired track combines angular riffs with an infectious rhythm section making it impossible not to join in the party.

“I was listening to alot of Talking Heads at the time and loved how they made you want to get down and dirty whilst in keeping with their grittier, choppy aesthetic” Harry
