Do you like rock music? I sure hope you do, because British Sea Power’s third album release will surely rejuvenate your deprived iTunes playlist. They’re an awesome foursome that deals out some gruesome indie-rock music for your sore thumb (if that makes sense). Based out of England, they share a lot of similarities with oh so many bands. More than you can count on one centipede, little man.
Do You Like Rock Music? starts off a lot more pop than it does indie. They hook you in the beginning with catchier songs like “Waving Flags” and “No Lucifer” that’ll keep you speeding 85 in a 55 mile-per-hour zone without even noticing. After awhile, the energy tends to die and you get a flat tire in your fantasy Ferrari. Like in “The Great Skua”, the tempo slows down, the melody kicks up, and they bring on a similar sound of Broken Social Scene. Being strictly instrumental, this song sounds more like an outro away from their Arcade Fire-esque sound and an intro into their easier-going, Coldplay-sounding portion of the album.
British Sea Power is known to have very entertaining and eccentric shows. Lots of stage divin’, set climbin’, and bear beatin’ fun for everyone. They’re definitely something that shouldn’t be missed if they’re making an appearance in your area. Whether you like things soft or you like things rough, you will be pleased with Do You Like Rock Music?.
