Our Take

Hold fast, dear readers, as we embark on a sonic journey like no other with Stick In The Wheel's latest offering. This East London collective has once again proven their prowess in blending traditional folk tunes with a modern, punk edge.

From the moment the opening track "Over Again" kicks in, it's clear that Stick In The Wheel are not here to play by the rules. The raw and unapologetic vocals of lead singer Nicola Kearey cut through the mix like a sharp knife, while the band's relentless energy drives each song forward with power and purpose.

Tracks like "Unquiet Grave" and "Roving Blade" showcase the band's ability to take age-old folk songs and make them feel fresh and relevant in today's turbulent world. The haunting, atmospheric production only adds to the overall intensity of the album, drawing listeners in and refusing to let go.

Hold Fast is a testament to Stick In The Wheel's unique ability to blend tradition with innovation, creating a sound that is both timeless and entirely their own. So grab your pint of ale, put on your dancing shoes, and prepare to be blown away by this captivating musical experience. Stick In The Wheel have firmly cemented their place as one of the most exciting and boundary-pushing acts in the folk scene today. Cheers to that!
