Hailing from Abbotsford (near Vancouver) in Canada is Animal Souls, and today sees the band reveal their nostalgic tune, "The Kids". Even right from the get-go you can hear that this has a very late 1980s sound to it mixed in with some incredible vocal tones.
Considering that this song is 35 years old (in theory) it still sounds as fresh as anything else in the genre currently!
Speaking of the song Michael Fisher of the band mentions, "The song has evolved since I wrote it in 1989, in demo recordings.". So even before I even headed into the track, to begin with, I was expecting a bit of a throwback, but I wasn't expecting it to be this good!
Clean guitars are balanced off with chunky bass tones that can flow right into your mind, backed up with powerful percussion that's not too offensive. The tempo of the song is perfect for your foot to tap along to, and with the aforementioned vocals, it also may entice you to learn the lyrics for a jolly singalong.
