A gutsy slice of vibro-rock from Feeder in the wake of the tragic suicide of drummer Jon Lee. Rather than serve up a mournful ballad like the Britrock Elton or something, Grant Nicholas navigates the band through their finest single yet courtesy of a tune even Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters– the undisputed kings of bubblegum metal- would happily take on loan.
“[I]I know it might take a while to come back around[/I]” hollers Grant, realizing that – taking his example from those crowned princes of bouncing back, The Charlatans – the best and most noble thing to do in such dire circumstances is to rock even harder. More power to their aching elbows.
