Our Take
Our Take
Ah, The Wedding Present - a band that has been churning out indie gems since before you were even born. Once Bitten / Kerplunk! is their latest offering, and let me tell you, it is a doozy.
From the moment you press play, you're hit with a wall of jangly guitars and bittersweet lyrics that will have you reminiscing about your first crush and the time you spent pining over them. David Gedge's distinctive vocals soar over the relentless drum beats and catchy hooks, making for a truly nostalgic listening experience.
Tracks like "Once More" and "Felicity" showcase the band's ability to blend infectious melodies with heartfelt storytelling, while "What Have I Said Now?" and "Don't Talk, Just Kiss" will have you dancing around your room like a lovestruck teenager.
But don't be fooled by the band's seemingly sunny disposition - there's a hint of darkness lurking beneath the surface, adding depth and complexity to their sound. It's this juxtaposition of light and shade that makes Once Bitten / Kerplunk! such a compelling listen.
So, if you're in the mood for some timeless indie pop that will transport you back to the heyday of John Peel and C86, look no further than The Wedding Present's latest offering. Just be prepared to have these songs stuck in your head for days on end.
