English quartet Voodoo Bandits are a bit early with an upbeat song for a glorious Spring day, but Empty Swimming Pool covers all the bases of catchy indie rock with a pop twist. The lyrics don't make much sense, but according to songwriter Ben Donaldson may have something to do with the fact that his dog was trying to help him out. Counter culture imagery and having trouble to make definite decisions pop up every now and then. The interaction between the band's two guitarists is spot on, with the rhythm section egging them on and commandeering the spotlights themselves.
Voodoo Bandits:
Ben Donaldson: rhythm guitar, vocals
Corey Vaughan: lead guitar
Nathan Vaughan: drums
Charlotte Wilby: bass
Empty Swimming Pool is released via Superblue Records. Release date: March 13.
Live dates:- 03/28 The Zanzibar, Liverpool (Support for LOLA)
- 04/11 The Head of Steam, Newcastle (Support for Bedroom Boredom)
- 05/16 The Royal Hall, Villa Marine, Isle of Man (Support for The Lightning Seeds)
Thanks, just in time for Spring :)
