Combining hard rock guitars and melodic songwriting, Ricky Clark has struck upon a winning formula with this mod-rock single.

The new single from Ricky Clark shows the artist’s eclectic taste, drawing influence from across the rock spectrum – from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to the mod stylings of 90’s Paul Weller.

This is immediately clear from the song’s opening moments, which have a classic rock feel and an almost spooooky vibe, fitting perfectly with the season of its release.

However, Clark breaks away from this into a very RCHP feeling verse, featuring a hint of a sneering Liam Gallagher-style vocal powering the song along.

The momentum builds on the bridge, which features an excellent melodic falsetto that lingers in your memory.

Eventually, the track breaks down into a middle eight reminiscent of Arctic Monkeys’ Pretty Visitors, adding a menacing tone that complements the song perfectly.

Praise is certainly due for the songwriting on display, which shows both variation and attention to detail, especially in the song’s structure.

Overall, this is a really fun, guitar heavy track, perfect for fans of bands such as Ocean Colour Scene and Paul Weller.
