Our Take

In a world where mediocrity runs rampant and music critics have the attention span of a goldfish, emerging like a phoenix from the flames of obscurity is GODSTICKS with their latest offering, "Emergence."

This album is a rollercoaster of sonic exploration, with the band refusing to adhere to any one genre, like a rebellious teenager flipping off the establishment. From prog-rock to metal to psychedelic, GODSTICKS weave in and out of different sounds with the finesse of a seasoned chameleon.

Lead singer Darran Charles's vocals soar and growl with equal gusto, intertwining perfectly with his face-melting guitar riffs. The rhythm section, consisting of Dan Nelson on bass and Tom Price on drums, is tighter than a hipster's skinny jeans.

Tracks like "Victim," "Revere" and "Exit Stage Right" will have you headbanging one minute, and contemplatively stroking your beard (real or imaginary) the next. Each song is a journey in itself, taking you through highs and lows, twists and turns.

Overall, "Emergence" is a breath of fresh air in a musical landscape cluttered with cookie-cutter bands and generic pop songs. If you're looking for something that will challenge your mind and your speakers, look no further than this album. GODSTICKS have truly emerged as a force to be reckoned with, and we can't wait to see where they go next. Bravissimo, lads!

About the artist

Godsticks

Godsticks: The Eccentric Prog-Rock Wizards You Didn't Know You Needed Hailing from South Wales, the enigmatic quartet known as Godsticks have been making waves in the prog-rock scene with their unique blend of virtuosic musicianship and quirky songwriting. Led by frontman and guitar virtuoso Darran Charles, the band's sound is a mesmerising concoction of intricate rhythms, soaring melodies, and unexpected twists and turns that will leave you both scratching your head and tapping your feet. With influences ranging from classic prog-rock pioneers like Rush and King Crimson to more contemporary acts like Porcupine Tree and Tool, Godsticks have carved out a niche for themselves as one of the most exciting and unpredictable bands in the genre. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with Charles's dazzling guitar solos and vocalist/guitarist Gavin Bushell's soulful crooning taking centre stage amidst a whirlwind of complex arrangements and mind-bending time signatures. But don't let their technical prowess fool you – Godsticks have a playful sense of humour that shines through in their music, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics and a penchant for injecting their songs with unexpected elements of pop sensibility. Tracks like "Ink Pot Soup" and "Revere" are perfect examples of this, blending intricate instrumental passages with catchy hooks and earworm melodies that will have you coming back for more. In a genre that often takes itself too seriously, Godsticks are a breath of fresh air – a band that isn't afraid to push the boundaries of what prog-rock can be while still having a damn good time doing it. So if you're looking for something that's equal parts brainy and bouncy, look no further than Godsticks – the eccentric prog-rock wizards you didn't know you needed.
