The throbbing runaway bass line on the furious "All About You" by Zürich, Switzerland based post punk / indie rock URGES is, in and of itself, worth the price of admission but there is so much more to delight in. The strident guitar feedback, octave chording, what sounds like minor 7 affections, hyper-kinetic drum work and a punchy vocal aesthetic that feels like a heady intoxicating amalgam of Caleb Followill, Jello Biafra, Julian Casablancas and Elvis.
The Official Video by DAS PLAYGROUND is brilliantly weird shot in sort of Polaroid-esque colors highlighting the 70's sunset lines we all remember (at least some of us do) and jeans shorts.
URGES tells stories of night life, drugs and volatile relationships. Between despair and loneliness lies desire, hope and the search for freedom. Their songs are made of rushing guitars, growling bass, playful drums, charming vocals and catchy melodies. Wild, energetic, straight forward. URGES present their blend of indie and post-punk, the rock'n’roll spirit on the trail; a refuge from monotony.
