First Frontier - 'Jagged Line'
Birmingham based garage rock duo First Frontier released their rough around the edges single ‘Jagged Line’.
A track about the blurred margins between hedonism and self control, while touching on the cynical nature of drink / drug abuse. “We wrote the song in a way to mirror that feeling of trying to keep the night going when everybody else going home; that desperate search for small hour thrills, interspersed with peals of drum and bass, hazy taxi rides and streetside longing” - explains the band.
Taking a repeating raw distorted guitar sound with some ghostly vocals, the band create an almost-hybrid of Radiohead meets modern grunge. An interesting sound to capture the true music lover’s dark corners of their mind.
