FollowSuit – Chapters ★★★★★

I honestly have no idea why I haven’t heard of this band before. Just epic.

I mean, Wales isn’t short on talent. There was a time not too long ago where it seemed like every new band climbing the ranks was a product of Welsh wombs. It seems though, that it still has plenty more tricks up it’s sleeve. Which leads me to introduce you to FollowSuit, a band on a mission….surely heading for mainstream attention! A read through their Facebook page tells me that all five of them are writers as well as musicians and this doesn’t surprise me at all. All four songs on this EP are so finely crafted, it had to be the work of a fully functioning creative collective such as this one.

One of the first things that really hit me on this release is the sincerity in the vocals, there is so much emotion behind the words….most notably on the stripped down White Flag, where the guitars stand back for a moment and let you appreciate the singing for how great it really is.

This is pop-rock at it’s finest, coming across a bit like a beefed up version of The Script. But don’t let that comparison put you off, if anything, FollowSuit are more rock than they are pop. More guitar heavy than a lot of the stuff you’ll find floating about the charts, but possessing a knack for writing a chorus the size of the sun that could see them share that success.

I have to draw particular attention to the chorus on Heartbreak, my absolute stand out moment on this EP….In fact, the whole song. Definitely the highlight for me, 100% single material! Boys, if you’re thinking of making a video to one of these songs, I vote this one!!

I’m gonna go and buy Chapters now, you should too – www.facebook.com/Followsuitband
