Liverpool’s has a rich history when it comes to providing the perfect pop bands – from the 60s heyday to the likes of The Coral in more recent years, there’s always been something special going on in Merseyside. New BBC favourites five-piece Cavalry – a band who have supported British Sea Power, The Antlers and Steven Malkmus There new track “An Understanding” (released 31st May) certainly hints they’re on the right track. An electronica-laced opening with floaty vocals and dreamy guitar lines as the song builds into more anthemic territory the vocal interplay and big-sounding chorus have a touch of Dry the River’s penchant for memorable and passionate hooks. Although they’re softer to begin with, there’s a delicious rasp in Alan Croft’s lead vocals that blends perfectly with a sound that is ready-made for festivals.
A band you should watch out for, Cavalry will soon be on the march towards success
