Label: Through Love
Brighton four-piece Wild Cat Strike unveil the first taste of their upcoming debut album with “I Feel Good”, a shot of laconic lyrical wit and melancholy delivered through an unshakably catchy indie rock song with a country swing and the sing-along-ability of a beer-fuelled sea shanty.
As their sound has developed over recent years, a new breed of Wild Cat Strike songs has emerged. While keeping elements of their intense, post-rock roots – with swells of distorted guitar, dynamic switches and raw and flowing melodies – they have homed in on an energetic and fresh songwriting style.
The lyrics of frontman Danny Byrom bring candid ruminations on life, death and memory; his nuanced, charismatic vocal delivery, and guitar playing, are joined by the formidable combination of Max Boughen (guitar), Chris Whitehorn (bass) and Joe Caple (drums).
