You know that one song, that every band worth their salt has in their repertoire. Often found glistening away in live sets even from their very formative years. The song an emerging new band’s fan base mutually take to and mark as the chosen one; gesturing to each other in intimate venues when the first chord is struck, appreciating it in any way possible upon hearing it.
For Leeds outfit The Strawberries that time has come. The stunningly sublime track ‘She Rhymes To Get Away‘ has been released and it’s every bit as juicy as the live cut we’ve been treated to for months. Their infectious, huge sounding psych-pop licks have seen them develop into a prominent fixture in the revitalisation of Northern rock ‘n’ roll on the underground scene with echoes of blossoms they could well be the next big thing.
They’ve been busy sharing stages with The Coral, The Kooks, Blossoms and the like as well as playing some rammed club nights for the mighty This Feeling. Whilst this summer has already brought a set at Isle of Wight Festival and there’s plenty more where that came from. They’ve just toured but they’re hard working lads so there’s no doubt another one around the corner.
