Single Review

The Last Republic - CCTVThe Last Republic - CCTV

The Last Republic have recently supported The Charlatans and The Levellers on the road and have managed to clock up a steady fan base at the same time, the band are due to release their new single ‘CCTV’ on the 15th October with their debut album ‘Parade’ to follow on the 1st November.

‘CCTV’ is the first I have ever heard of The Last Republic and I have to say that I love what I am hearing the band have this soaring indie sound that is bound to raise the roofs of venues across the country, the song just instantly flows at a fast catchy pace from the opening organ sounds right until the fading out space age sounds of the outro.

Jonnie Owen’s vocals are a gem especially during the beautifully sung chorus which is catchier than the common cold in this day and age, the breakdowns are fantastic and just as you think the song is about to step back into first gear it speeds up again and takes you on another thrilling journey.

As far as indie music goes I believe that The Last Republic will have a very bright future and will be a band to keep your eye on over the next few years.

5/5
