Fatherson - 'Charm School'
Info: Fatherson shared the new video for single 'Charm School' this week, taken from their forthcoming album Sum Of All Your Parts out on September 14th.
The second track to be taken from the album, Charm School - first played on Annie Mac’s Radio 1 Show – is, according to the band, “An observation on having to mind your p’s and q’s all the time – and the need to jump through hoops for other people. A charm school is an elocution school where people are taught manners above all else - which might be a little unrealistic for real life”.
Forming in Kilmarnock, Scotland, in early 2010, Fatherson immediately captured hearts with their raw, honest alt-rock sound. Inspired by Scottish stoicism as much as their own personal turmoil, debut album I Am An Island and its 2016 follow-up Open Book were masterclasses in full-throttle rock songwriting, and garnered support from (and tours alongside) their north-of-the-border brethren in Biffy Clyro, Frightened Rabbit, Idlewild and Twin Atlantic, as well as further runs alongside the likes of Kings Of Leon, Augustines, Enter Shikari and more. Open Book jumped straight in at No.2 in the Scottish album charts as well as performing strongly in the U.K. Other recent highlights include packing a 12,000 person tent at T in the Park.
One of the hottest tickets in Scotland right now, indie-rock three-piece Fatherson rip the bottom out of your spinal chord with the hook-laden new single 'Charm School'. The band's looped guitar riff is thick and grizzly with sudden, jerking pauses accentuating the frenetic thundering motion of distortion and drums. At 1:52 the shit hits the fan and a whirlwind of harmonies and instrumentation engulf the lead vocal, a seriously catchy no frills ear-worm you'll do well to find better than in the genre this year.
Fatherson play Whelan's on Wexford Street, Dublin, on the 3rd of October.
