Underclass // Beat Your Fist // 02.12.11 // Bainbridge Music
This is how rock should sound. A thumping beat, a classy yet rough around the edges riff, and a radio-friendly chorus make this new single by Underclass perfect for the music collection of any fan of fellow Scottish rock giants Biffy Clyro. With Kev O’Rourke’s Star-Trek sounding keyboards slotting effortlessly into the concoction, the Edinburgh Quintet add a new, interesting dimension to a sound copied a million times before, and are on to a real winner with this single, and hopefully for those that follow too.
My only criticism is that John Keenan’s vocals, at first, are a little difficult to understand. Nevertheless, once you give the track a couple of listens (and trust me, you really should), the energetic lyrics suddenly decipher themselves, leaving you with the chorus ‘beat your fist against your head, realise your love was dead’ repeating in your head all day long. Top Track.
