Our Take

Ah, Stackridge. The band that refuses to be boxed in by conventional genres and expectations. Their latest album, Extravaganza, is a wild ride through the whimsical world of British folk rock, with a healthy dose of irreverence thrown in for good measure.

From the opening track, "Something About the Beatles," it's clear that Stackridge is not here to play by the rules. The combination of catchy hooks, clever lyrics, and off-kilter instrumentation creates a sound that is truly unique and unmistakably Stackridge.

Tracks like "The Vegans Are Coming" and "Jelly Will Wait" showcase the band's ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into a coherent and toe-tapping whole. The playful nature of the lyrics is matched only by the sheer virtuosity of the musicianship on display.

But it's not all fun and games on Extravaganza. Songs like "Tears for Everest" and "The Last Plimsoll" delve into deeper, darker territory, showing a more introspective side to the band's songwriting.

Overall, Extravaganza is a triumph for Stackridge. It's a testament to their enduring creativity and willingness to push boundaries, all while having a damn good time. So sit back, crank up the volume, and let Stackridge take you on a musical journey like no other. Cheers, lads.
