Outer Stella Overdrive - 'Record Shop Murder'
Get your rocks off to Outer Stella Overdrive's ‘Record Shop Murder’.
Following the release of the incendiary ‘I Say’ last Christmas, Outer Stella Overdrive are back with the single ‘Record Shop Murder’. It’s punk-indie-Britpop sound is infectious, similar to bands such as Heavy Rapids, as well as a hint of Slaves and Ladybird. ‘Record Shop Murder’ is the first instalment of the band bringing their live prowess into the studio, as they have recorded their debut EP in Damon Albarn’s Studio 13. With the EP due for a Spring release, ‘Record Shop Murder’ is the perfect single to get anyone and everyone excited about it.
With a fuzzy blues-tinged guitar riff leading the way, ‘Record Shop Murder’ is a no-nonsense rock n’ roll blast of energy. But it’s not silly young, dumb, and full of cum angst. Outer Stella Overdrive showcase their song writing capabilities and ability to write a great hook. As the track switches gear in the middle, there’s a ‘Chelsea Dagger’-esque football terrace chant of ‘Do the record shop!’ that will seriously get your blood pumping.
