After reviewing The Humour live a few weeks ago, I thought I knew what this Yorkshire band had to offer, but I was wrong. The band’s debut album, ‘You’re Gonna Pay’ is a short, 6 track blast of hard hitting pop rock. Very American in sound, but very, very well produced, showing a different side from the group who played live a few weeks ago.
The music is of course very similar and there are still the same influences in the music, however, I was concerned that without the groups huge on stage presence, the album may be a damp squib, but my concerns are wrong. This is a wonderful collection of brilliant musical talent, huge vocals and a display of heavy rock for the masses.

‘I can’t believe I’m seeing Slash play live today’. Words I can remember saying to a mate while trying to distract my mind from what horrors lay beyond the queue for the mud-splashed festival chemical bog. Come to think of it, I hope that was mud.

Existence is the debut album from Detroit Social Club, it is an indie anthem filled ten track record which impresses from start to finish. After already supporting some great acts and with some fantastic festival sets coming up, there is no doubt that this group have big things ahead of them.
There are some fantastic influences in the medley from the psychedelic experimentation of Kasabian to the wonderful vocal talents of Kelly Jones from The Stereophonics, hints of The Verve, Melodic talents of Primal Scream and Rock and Roll attitude of The Rolling Stones.
