NARCS
Karaoke
November 2013 (Clue Records)
8/10
Leeds isn't the first
city in the North of England that you'd think of when it comes to
groove laden indie-rock. It is, however, where snarling five-piece
NARCS hail from, and with
their most recent single 'Karaoke', a scathing examination of the
X-Factor syndrome, the band are contending with some of the North's
best underexposed acts, to put Leeds on the musical map permanently.
At
less than three minutes long, it's a short sharp and acerbic jibe at
celebrity culture. Taking no time to kick off proceedings, a chunky
guitar and drumming somewhat akin to that of the first Arctic
Monkeys record drive the song
forward, all the while backboned by a fantastically produced bass and
rhythm section.
With
their previous single '19' attracting positive attention from a
number of small music blogs such as this one, it's only a matter of
time before NARCS gain the attention of a wider musical sphere, and
make the waves they've already set in motion, even bigger.
