Johnny Foreigner - Salt, Peppa And SpinderellaJohnny Foreigner - Salt, Peppa And Spinderella

I have been keeping a close eye on Johnny Foreigner ever since they released their single 'Arcs Across The City' many months ago, the band have since gone on to release the ever so catchy 'Our Bipolar Friends' single and their debut album 'Waited Up Till It Was Light' and also spending as much time as possible playing shows all over the UK and any other country that they can get their claws into, including shows at Tokyo's Supersonic festival and upcoming appearances at everyone’s favourite summer festival, the Reading and Leeds festivals which take place across August bank holiday weekend.

Johnny Foreigner will be heading out for a headline tour with label mates Danananananaykroyd in September just after the release of their new single 'Salt, Peppa And Spinderella', which happens to be the first single release from Johnny Foreigner since the release of their debut album 'Waited Up Till It Was Light'.

'Salt, Peppa And Spinderella' is such a pleasing track and is one of my favourite tracks from the band, the song starts off with fast drum beats and it’s not long before Alexei and Kelly’s uniquely different vocals come in one after the other, the drums carry on beating faster and louder as time goes on sounding like a small marching band, whilst Alexei and Kelly go on a vocal trip. Midway through the song it turns to spoken word vocals with Alexei speaking really fast and Kelly singing "do,do,do,do" over and over again and then out of no where the song really beefs up and goes up many notches in sound which really turns the song into a winner.

A video has been made for 'Salt, Peppa And Spinderella' but the chances are you won’t be seeing it on TV any time soon as most of the major television channels have banned the video as it has effects that could cause people to have epileptic fits and after viewing the video it’s easy to see why as the band put 68,000 plus still images together to make the video and it could prove to be a bit of a head fuck for some people seeing it for the first time with no warning, but saying that the video is fast and fun and is definitely worth a watch.

Johnny Foreigner are one of those bands that have everything going for them right now, they may only be a three piece but they sure know how to make a noise and a decent noise at that, they have many killer tracks behind them and the release of 'Salt, Peppa And Spinderella' gives the band another killer hit single in the back of the net, Johnny Foreigner are going to go far and I think you should step aboard and watch them now just as they are about to take off.

5/5
