You know those bands that you see the name everywhere but never actually get round to listening to them? Does It Offend You, yeah? are one of those bands for me. When this single arrived i thought now would be the perfect chance to give them a spin.
I must admit that this song does not lack anything when it comes to being catchy. Its not ashamed to come out blazing with a chorus so memorable I was singing along by the second listen. It burrows so deep that I already know that its going to take a lot to shake that melody. With a sound that is very similar to bands like Bloc Party and Drive By Arguement you cant help but nod your head and tap along.
Its got everything you want in a song and after hearing it I wanted to hear more from these guys, but with a single that only includes the standard b-side tracks of an album version and an instrumental version (which ive never really understood why that is included) im a little stuck until I get hold of the album. But if "Epic Last Song" is anything to go by the album will be a purcahse worth making.
Dont hold out like I did. Give them a listen.
