Biffy Clyro, Editors and The Joy Formidable all quite impressive names to add to a band's 'have toured with' list, a list that is being strongly developed by Manchester four-piece Airship. Their debut self-released EP, which was released last year, received rave reviews and their debut album, Stuck In The Ocean, is due out this autumn.
Kids is the first single to be released from the forthcoming record, and provides an exciting glimpse into what sounds will be unleashed from the rest of the album. It begins with fast paced drums that wouldn't sound out of place on a pop-punk anthem, but the low-pitched guitar riff and the soft vocals of frontman Elliott Williams quickly dispel this illusion. The chorus promptly lifts the mood of the song with punchy, distorted guitars and echoing vocal harmonies, which leaves for involuntary head-nodding and foot-tapping.
For a band that produced their debut album in a total of just fifteen days, Airship could perhaps be amongst those leading indie music into an intriguing new dimension. Watch this space...
