VELCRO HOOKS

There’s a deranged, dirty feel to this four-piece’s scuzzy indie pop which gives us the impression that they’re quite the little miscreants. But despite their reckless vibe, Velcro Hooks pull off erratic structures and sharp tempo switches which also reveal some pretty good musicians. The Hooks dropped their Gymnophoria EP via gatekeepers of Bristol’s ‘microscene’ Howling Owl Records last month to ludicrously widespread praise (anyone read the Star?). It’s a record that contaminates outrageously catchy tunes with overdrive crunch and absurd yelps reminiscent of Frank Blank. The perfect soundtrack to a night spent sippin’ White Ace and making regrettable decisions.
