A debut single has emerged from Pontefract, West Yorkshire. The shoegaze trio of Adam Higgins, Calvin Hazelhurst and Dan Greaves are Void Club, and the first release ever is “Things Fall Apart.”
I hear the influences of The Jesus and Mary Chain in the wall of sonic guitar noise, that almost whimsy of The Stone Roses, especially in the echoing guitar lines, but the vocals are unmistakeably in the vein of Ride. That wonderful style of singing that just soars with the music in perfect symmetry. Lyrics only consist of ‘Things fall apart. From an end, make a start‘, however that just gives the track a more anthemic feel, because there is always the ability to pick yourself up after everything crumbles. Anyone that has Ride as an influence is alright by me and Void Club hit all the sweet spots in this irresistible first offering.
