Single Review
The Talks - Picture ThisThe Talks - Picture This

The Talks are a band I have only just come across and I really didn’t know what to expect when I first put their single 'Picture This' on, but I was pleasantly surprised and happy with what was coming out of my speakers.

The Talks have a great sound, it’s a combination of pop, punk, indie, ska and reggae and the whole mixture is what makes them so exciting. 'Picture This' is such an upbeat song, the vocals are very bouncy in a poppy way and extremely clear, the instrumental work is what makes the song a real winner, it’s so fresh and upbeat and everything stands out nicely.

The b-side 'Faces' is just as good as the main single if not better, it’s a fast paced ska sounding song and is really catchy, just you wait for the chorus to come in you won’t believe your ears at how happy and catchy it is. 'Faces' is a song I will be listening to time and time again especially over the summer months when the sun is shining as upbeat happy ska music is the perfect start to a good summer.

I feel quite lucky to of come across The Talks, they are such a talented band and with such good songs as 'Picture This and 'Faces' the band surely have a really bright future ahead of them. Seriously do yourself a favour and head over to The Talks myspace and give them a listen as you have nothing to lose and could gain a new favourite band.

5/5
