Anthemic rock
‘Blue Wray’, debut single from Spectrum 7 (recent Xtra Mile acquisitions), starts in a worryingly Enter Shikari way, but soon, luckily becomes something much more anthemic and catchy than E.S. have ever managed.
Spectrum 7 produce darkly poppy melodic rock with danceable beats, thankfully the electro elements are never overdone which is something that can be a little hit and miss. The track doesn’t take long to get going, it quickly soars towards a crescendo of noise, the vocals are strong and thick with emotion which immediately makes you want to sing along and the riffs are pretty heavy.
A very decent and surprisingly mature sounding debut single, and a great intro to the band, the mini album “So Silent The Night” is to be released later on this year.
