Our Take

The SHAMBOLICS' latest offering, "Dreams, Schemes & Young Teams," is a romp through the backstreets of indie rock, with a sprinkle of youthful exuberance and a dash of naivety. This Scottish quartet's debut album is a whirlwind of catchy hooks, jangly guitars, and earnest lyrics that harken back to the heyday of Britpop.

From the anthemic opener "Chasing a Disaster" to the dreamy ballad "Love Collides," the SHAMBOLICS wear their influences on their sleeves, drawing comparisons to the likes of Oasis, The Stone Roses, and The La's. Lead singer Lewis McDonald's earnest vocals soar over the infectious melodies, while the rhythm section of Jordan McHatton, Darren Forbes, and Luke Markey keeps things tight and groovy.

Tracks like "My Time is Now" and "Sandra Speed" showcase the band's knack for crafting timeless pop songs that are as catchy as they are heartfelt. The album's production, helmed by the legendary Stephen Street, adds a glossy sheen to the band's raw energy, making for a polished yet authentic sound.

Overall, "Dreams, Schemes & Young Teams" is a promising debut from a band with bags of potential. While they may wear their influences on their sleeves, the SHAMBOLICS' infectious enthusiasm and ear for a killer melody make this album a joyous and nostalgic listen. Keep an eye on these lads – they're sure to make waves in the indie rock scene.

Tracks like "Love Collides" and "Chasing a Disaster" showcase the band's knack for crafting anthemic tunes that stick in your head long after the music stops.

With their infectious energy, killer hooks, and undeniable talent, this band is poised to take the world by storm. Keep your eye on these lads - they're destined for big things.
