Less than two years on from their coming together, Glasgow indie rock ‘n’ roll
outfit Hazy Sundays’ high energy debut EP is a solid first effort, with a few
tracks which set them out as ones to watch.
With early experience in supporting Reverend and The Makers, and having
performed alongside Chris Helme of The Seahorses, Hazy Sundays have
clearly drawn themselves attention from within the industry, and this doesn’t
come for no good reason.
The opening track on the EP is called ‘Misfire’, and that’s one thing this band
don’t do. Hazy Sundays’ know exactly what their audience is and play straight
to it with ‘Misfire’ really characterising the band’s 100 mile per hour approach
to songwriting, with at least half a thought being given to live performance.
Fast paced indie rock tunes make up the majority of the EP however, the band
truly shines in their darker, heavier moments. When the indie youthfulness is
shaken off for just a second we are given their latest single ‘Where The Devil
Decides’ which opens with with a Second Coming John Squire style riff which
shakes the listener right to the core. This is met with an impressive depth
through the appearance of slicing rhythm guitar pieces and drum fills, layering
the song beautifully.
The best track on the EP is ‘Wires’, where in which Frontman Shaun Kelly
really allows himself to open up to his audience. The emotional ballad tells a
stunningly personal story and is backed by a powerful score which really
carries the message forward.
With Hazy Sundays being so early in their career ‘Give Me Some Dopamine’
is an impressive look into what they’re capable of.
