アイルランド/ダブリン拠点のオルタナティヴロックバンド Silverbacksが、1/31にNice Swan Recordsからリリースしたニューシングル 'Drool'を公開！
Silverbacksは、Daniel O’Kelly, Kilian O’Kelly, Peadar Kearney, Emma Hanlon, Gary Wickhamの5人組で、楽曲のプロデュースは同郷の Daniel Fox (Girl Band)が務めてます。Sports Team, Pip Blom, FURといった人気バンド達を輩出したNice Swanから出してるというのもポイントですね。
集まったり散らばったりする自由自在のギター3本と暗くてキャッチーなボーカルを軸に、沸点に達しないキワを延々突く激シブ曲。今年はデビューアルバムの発売があるので引き続き要チェックです。
"Drool tells the story of a good family man who unfortunately suffers from poor health and his resulting demons. The lyrics voice the man's concern about whether or not his medication is making him feel better or worse. 'Can't you see, it does exactly what is says on the box' is a line that can apply to almost anything, the amount of trust we put into our systems and that they're there for our own good. Empty bottles, empty stomachs and wedding fights paint a worrisome picture but the outro concludes that the song's hero will continue to try his best." - Kilian O’Kelly
