Rousingly Infectious

Setting their tale of disillusioned small town attitudes to a military style drum beat, My Awesome Compilation deliver a fatally infectious pop tinged tune that quickly charms its way into your affections.

Wielding the catchiness normally associated with Fall Out Boy and the upbeat humour of Reel Big Fish, 'Awake' cleverly marries a cheery pop edged beat with My Awesome Compilation's disheartened lyrics. A woeful message of how "I can't find a reason why you'd wanna stay" subtly mingles amongst a military drumbeat as the Leicestershire four piece sneakily hide their disgruntled tale amongst a catchy and uplifting tune. Throw in some crowd like singing during the chorus and a marching beat that propels 'Awake' to its quick but satisfactory conclusion and suddenly My Awesome Compilation have crafted a perfectly addictive summer song that should even stand up to the British weather. Rousingly infectious, full of energy and with a quintessentially British rock spark, 'Awake' is a faultless nugget of pop rock.
