Boomshanker – Local Friendly Drug Dealer

June 6, 2004 by Rich Leave a Comment

This is the latest track from the Birmingham based Indie Rockers that are Boomshanker. It is a long track clocking in at nearly six minutes but although it is an extremely long song – the band have enough talent to keep it going and it remains excitement throughout the duration of this six minute period. At around three and a half minutes you think that it is about to end but no – it shocks you and comes back in to life with a fresh, vibrant sound that will really put a smile on your face and leave you glad that it hadn’t ended when thought it was going to. This tune really shows off their new Hip Hop influence and I personally think that this new influence has added to the excitement of their music as not only do you have melodic Indie lines but you also have the almost rap style of the Hip Hop coming through – it has given their music extra flavour and made it ten times better!

I loved the last track I heard – ‘The Plan’ but this track is just so much better and I think that is thanks to the new influence as it has really added a bit of spice to their music, creating a much fuller and more interesting sound. The vocals here are really spot on – the band have got them 100% right and they are really sounding in top form! The atmosphere is really chilled back and relaxed for this track which is really cool to hear and you can really tell that the band are enjoying themselves playing this music and are in it out of a complete passion for music. They make good use of the keyboards – making one hell of a sound with them that is sure to please any of you whether you are in to Psychedelic Rock music, Indie, or any other genre known to man really – it is just absolutely amazing and shows off just how much talent the band have to offer. I am proud to consider myself a fan of this band and am glad that I have been there since the start trying to help them spread the word as I really feel that they deserve to be, and probably should be massive. They may not be massive now but I am sure that before long they definitely will be as they just have so much talent to offer, with some amazing tunes on display that are absolutely faultless, full of energy, and definitely packed full of style!

Head on down to their website if you wish to download the track as it is an absolute blinder and will definitely please you whether you are usually a fan of Indie Rock or not. I absolutely love this tune as it is a blinder and really managed to cheer me up, putting a massive grin on my face while listening to it – you can’t possibly listen to this kind of music without raising a smile!

Well done lads – and congratulations on creating another classic tune!
