This has been billed as the best ever single to be released by the band and I would probably tend to agree with this. The band have always been good at what they do and have always have a fairly huge audience, in fact a cult following but it is singles like this one that are really going to launch the band in to the limelight. This track coupled with an awesome B-Side, ‘Ice Cream’ make way for an awesome little single that you can sit back, kick your shoes off and relax to.
‘I Could Be An Angle’ is an amazingly good single from the band, featuring their usual awesome and individualistic vocals, crazy guitar riffs, rocking bass lines, and beastly drum beats. This band is really something special, I have always though this – but this single really does prove the point. It is just something that extra bit funky and I think that it really will appeal to a mass audience this time. The band have never really hit it off completely due to them being a bit too unique, but I truly feel that this one is a good, healthy medium. It is still a bit different, so you can tell that it is the Eighties Matchbox, but it has a mass appeal about it with its catchy beat and amazing rhythm. This is definitely the right time to release this single – ‘Mister Mental’ was the warm up, but ‘I Could Be An Angle’ is the real deal. If this tune isn’t successful then I really don’t know what the band can do next as this is definitely their greatest material to date so if their best doesn’t impress then they cant really do a lot more.
As I have already mentioned earlier on – the B-Side here, ‘Ice Cream’ is also a cracking track and it really did put a nice big smile on my face. B-Side’s can often be a bit of a let down because its just a bit of a half arsed attempt to throw something together to make it look like it is worth the 3 of peoples hard earned cash that they are forking out for it. This track has obviously been carefully chosen though as it really works well with the A-Side and flows on well from it creating a well structured single that is good to listen to and doesn’t just have you pressing stop every time the A-Side comes to a finish. Go out and buy this single now people – you wont regret it one bit!
