With The Speed Of Sound The Party Lasts For Years So Let’s Meet Underground

The Speed Of Sound 

Underground 

Big Stir Records 

 

In a celebration of 35 exciting years of The Speed Of Sound, the Manchester-based quintet embarked on a ground-breaking trilogy album that signifies their entire curve and provides ample runway for the next instalment. Now on the second chapter, A Cornucopia: Victory, The Speed Of Sound present their new single that precedes the anticipated release.  With Minerva behind us, as the highly acclaimed chapter one, Victory at our feet, and Bounty on the horizon, it’s a genuinely great time to get on the train and enlist as a fan of this sparkling wine of a group. Underground is a real scene setter for the album release, due in September, with aspects of influences such as Blondie, Television, Jefferson Airplane, and the B-52s adding their chemistry to the cauldron of this northern powerhouse group.  


A funky high-hat and snare driven drum score unwraps the song as a volley of twinkling guitar chords and bass tones bring a sunny and upbeat groove. A quick rhythm punches the framework in a barrage of upbeat strides. The vocals begin, wavery guitars begin to radiate with interesting chord shapes as a Bob Dylan style delivery meets Shampoo swagger in a hair wash shower scene of sound. A mix of blues guitar, upbeat punky rhythms and a trad-folk sing-along recipe makes The Speed Of Sound’s Underground infectious and inspiring.
