Don't Run Away

I am pleased to announce the release of a Goldhawks single – this should have normally been the beginning of this article. But you see Running Away is actually their first single. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you got it right; we're talking about fresh blood here. That made me really, really impatient, and (I'll admit it) excited – and that's because I haven't had the chance to write about a new band in a while (don't count Them Crooked Vultures here).

How does it sound? Well, don't expect something that will turn your world upside down forever and ever (anyway, you know this kind of things happens very, very rarely). It might, if you don't know Echo & The Bunnymen. That's right; the sound will remind some of you of the band from Liverpool. Even the vocals are similar to Ian McCulloch's. It begins with the very classic guitar line, and after eight seconds, or so, the listener has the chance to hear the bass and the drums. The band keeps it simple until the chorus, and then the instrumental just blows in your face. It sounds really nice, even if it's not one of these "wow-omg-i-can't-believe-they-did-this" songs. Plus, we all know that too much originality might actually suck at a certain point. Sometimes it's better just to stick with the old recipe. That's what these guys did.

At the end of the day (or better said article), the verdict is positive. I can say now loudly and clearly that I am pleased to announce the release of the first Goldhawks single… oh, and also really curious about their debut album.
