Nestled between England, Wales, and Ireland is the Isle of Man and coming out of that scene is a band that's really starting to put their name out there. HIGHWAYVES has previously been on the site - for good reasons too - and now they're back with the huge new tune, "FAMILY TREE".
... Brit-pop swagger, jangly guitars, and cinematic flair.
With over 200k plays in total on their first five-ever singles, it's safe to say there is now an expectation for the band to deliver, and they have. It kicks off with a distinctly Brit-pop sounding guitar before those gnarly vocals come in.
Honestly, as soon as the song burst in like a cowboy through the doors it becomes massive. It feels like there's an abundance of strings added on top of this track to drag in more atmosphere than ever before, all the while with the swooning guitar tones jangling away effortlessly captivating you strumby strum.
If you want a new band to delve into that sounds like they have the sound to go on and be trailblazers in their genre, then HIGHWAYVES are it!
