Keeping It Rocking

The family formula has worked well for plenty of groups and Living Things' Berlin brothers certainly know how to produce a fully rounded rock anthem with enough gusto and swagger to knock the opposition flying.

Riding high on a big, raucous riff designed to shake everyone in the room into a rock fever, 'Bom Bom Bom' is the kind of single that most bands dream of; it's direct, catchy and no one can argue with the fact that it simply rocks. A classic rock guitar sound blazes throughout, matched in fervour with the sleazy drawl of the vocals before descending into a mass of brooding overdrive that wouldn't be out of place in a bar brawl. You might be initially sceptical of any song that includes a chorus of "Bom bom bom", but it's so forcefully backed by reactive guitars that you'll be sure to find yourself saluting the simplicity of this great single.
