 Review of Kassidy's EP The Rubbergum EP - Vol. 3 released through Mercury Records This time last year, Glaswegian based quartet Kassidy, then known as Cassidy, released their debut single 'Night In The Box', which blended the sensivity of Turin Brakes with the swagger of Oasis and Kasabian in a fantastic chirpy indie style; the band also supported Razorlight as part of XFM's 2009 Winter Wonderland gig. Now releasing their third EP in the 'Rubbergum' series, so called after the studio where recording took place, they've ditched the 'C' for a 'K' and mellowed into an American-tinged country-folk collective following in the footsteps of the likes of the successful Brit-folk tribe Mumford & Sons with the confidence and American-roots of Kings Of Leon. 'Oh My God' instantly outs this stomping indie-folk vibe with acoustic guitars, brushed drums, a clap-along bluesy-pop chorus and later a tight stop-time bridge ridden with lush and well-pitched vocal harmonies. 'That Old Song', meanwhile, is an acoustic guitar led cowboy-folk blues with low lead vocals and Johnny Cash feel throughout.

Their latest collection of work kicks off with ‘Oh My God’, which may upon first listen echoes something akin to indie rock band Cherry Ghost, but a stomping melody and a belting chorus from the quartet remind listeners that this that the band have shaped a song in their own unique and infectious way. Moving on to ‘That Old Song’, listeners will hear a song that starts off in a stripped down manner, only to gradually skip and jump to a distant tumbleweed (metaphorically speaking, of course), rapidly building up to climatic anthem of sweeping harmonies to create a wind-blown, country-pop tune....full text |
