Today sees the release of ALLEY's debut single, "The Release (Now It’s Over)", and it's a classic debut that'll have you pining for more - even before the first minute is over.
... a mesmerising indie-pop/rock gem, brimming with nostalgic riffs and confident vocals that mark them as the South Coast’s next big act.
The strong guitar tones on the intro remind me a lot of the Humbug era of Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets, but this song has even more of a nostalgic sheen flowing over it- much like a babbling brook over smooth stones on a sunny day.
The blend of the indie-pop and indie-rock genres works so well here, with the mixing of the vocals showcasing the lead singer for all to hear. It's simply mesmersing and is a debut that'll be hard to beat for their fellow South Coast bands.
Their name is now out there, and we can easily see them becoming a big name on their scene - just keep an eye on them, as they're quietly confident and will blow up at any moment.
