We have reached the year 2015 and maybe every good band name has been taken. In the olden days you had brilliant names such as The Rolling Stones, The Sex Pistols and Oasis. Today we have awful names such as Catfish and the Bottlemen, Two Door Cinema Club and 5 Seconds Of Summer. Some of the cooler contingencies of the band world are committing crimes against grammar to have the extra edge such as Alvvays and ho99o9. Surrey band 'dazy chain' are no different.
Their debut EP, Bloodbath is not quite as homicidal as it sounds but it certainly doesn't live up to the connotations that a daisy chain has. The first tune I Don't Care pulls on indie sad-kids heartstrings, with lead singer Sagaar Kaushik pondering and contradicting himself
I'm not scared, I'm just afraid over morose backing. The song screams teenage apathy and one too many re-runs of Skins series 1 as it progresses into a sweary binge. The title track follows suit, a Weller influenced intro evolves into a interesting synth line. Bloodbath asks you to bob your head to the good production and poetic lyricism.
The last two songs on the EP really flourish what the young band are capable of. Gunfire is reminiscent of Jesus and The Mary Chain, heavier than the two previous songs it will get people moving about. The lyrics appear obtuse and nonsensical
, especially in the chorus
I feel the blood rushing to my face- yet that doesn't necessarily take any of the joy out of the last woozy minute that leads directly into Nucleic Acid Trip. One of the first songs that the band wrote, NAT is a bit more synth pop than the guitar heavy EP. This adds a childish charm to finish the EP, especially with the druggie chorus asking whether you're feeling it too. As a whole, the band has a raffish confidence that could evolve into a real contender
