‘Home Run (1997)’ is the latest single from the Glasgow based band that is Flood of Red. It’s a very pleasant piece of music to listen to, and vocally here the artist always has a lot to offer. The vocal strength is definitely the best quality of the track, and this I feel is what stands out most about the music.
I do feel that the track as a whole is perhaps a little lacking in spark, and although definitely not a bad single, it could certainly be stronger. The instrumental element is well put together, but does seem to lack edge, and this I feel is something that therefore holds the track back.
Flood of Red is a promising British band that I’d like to hear more from in the future; on this occasion I do feel that the single could provide more though, and whilst the track is relaxing to listen to it is also rather forgettable, quickly fading from the memory once the music has stopped playing.

Bowling For Soup is a band that will almost certainly never grow up, and thank goodness for that as hugely immature is just the way that we like them. The band is consistently able to amuse us with its tracks, and ‘My Wena’ is another track from the band that is sure to raise a smile.
The ‘My Wena’ lyrics are incredibly funny, and if you get a chance to check out the official ‘My Wena’ video then I seriously suggest that you do so. For pure comedy value, ‘My Wena’ is definitely one of my favourites from Bowling For Soup; it’s fun, catchy, and truly is incredibly funny.
Undeniably childish, ‘My Wena’ is a song that you just can’t help but sing along to, and whilst the humour here will not be to everyone’s taste; I for one am most definitely a fan.

Impressive lyrically, and absolutely fantastic vocally and instrumentally also; ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is the latest single from Twin Atlantic, a track that points a finger at artists that insist in singing in an American accent, no matter where they’re from. Twin Atlantic is one band that definitely doesn’t cave in to the Americanisation of culture, and lead vocalist Sam McTrusty here sings loud and proud in his native Scottish accent.
This is a very intelligent piece of music from Twin Atlantic, and the track as a whole has been incredibly well thought out and composed. The guitar sound is strong, and vocally also the music here really does hit hard. You get the sense here that Americanisation truly is something that bothers Sam McTrusty; he means every word that he sings out throughout the track, and ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is therefore all the more effective as a result.
‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ truly is an absolutely brilliant single from Twin Atlantic, and with the band’s ‘Vivarium’ mini-album due for release on September 14th; it’ll certainly be interesting to hear what the band can offer with the eight-track release.
Twin Atlantic’s ‘You’re Turning Into John Wayne’ is a track that I 100% recommend listening to, and if you do decide to give the track a whirl then you’ll surely not be left at all disappointed.
