Wednesday ∆ Circa Waves - Good For Me

Well, it's an Indie Rock type day so here you go, Circa Waves - Good For Me. This band from Liverpool, England has two Brit Rock reminiscent tracks that are very upbeat. They still hold onto those British punk/rock characteristics while sounding like an American surf rock/indie rock bands like Best Coast or The Walkmen.

The intro starts off with this bass lacking fuzzy guitar melody. It then quickly breaks into a fast paced rock drum beat with hard strumming power chord sounding guitars on top. The trudging bass line is relatively prominent in the track and it provides the song with a heavier feel. Despite the higher amount of distorted sounds the vocals are clean and clear soaring over the guitar melodies, chords, bass lines, and hard hitting drums. The vocals are very "Indie Rock" sounding. The singer's voice has a little bit of a Billy Joe Armstrong twang to it. I really enjoy when the back up vocals come in. They sound very distant and reverby at times but it really beefs up the parts they try and emphasize, the main lyrics of the song "Good For Me".

The song sticks to the main format through out it. It mainly sticks to the fast drum beat/guitars strumming chords, to the guitar picked melodies with tom drum beat underneath mixed, to the 2 second vocal part singing "Good For Me". But, it's a pretty short song and the quick tempo really makes it go by fast. Therefore, the repetition and lack of variety in format doesn't really bother me. This song really has some pros to it and very few cons. It's an enjoyable, quick, memorable, and upbeat song that deserves some recognition.

So, check out the other song on their soundcloud, Get Away if you want more Circa Waves.
