Leeds indie band Eades started out as post-punk band, but for their new album Final Sirens Call they have branched to dad rock (The Other Side of Life) and even pastoral Britpop for the title track. Getting out of their comfort zone and diving into musical history worked out rather well. Melody was always a key ingredient of their music, but now it is out in the open. They even let in a saxophone to lead the way.
Post-punk fans are served with the snarling Did You Read The News?, with ace harmonies that will make the Gallagher brothers sit up and take notice. The bravado of Madness, Pride & Poetry is further proof of their enhanced prowess. No signs of the difficult second album slump. Upwards and onwards for a band that is on a roll right now.
