Critical Reaction is an indie-rock band from the North of England, formed in 2015 by a group of four friends when they were only fifteen years old. Three years later they are still around making music. Following the 2017 EP ‘Take Some Time’, they have just released their new track titled ‘Easy’ this past May.
The song has very present guitar riffs, supported by strong drums and a melodic vocal tying it all together. It has all the different moments and dynamics that are to be expected from a track like this including faster verses and other slower moments that focus on the singing, making you pay attention to the lyrics. The vocals are a definite highlight here showing the brilliant use of technique whilst also sounding raw and passionate.
The song itself may not linger long in the memory but Critical Reaction definitely will because of their incredibly tight and cohesive sound. It’s always amazing to follow young bands because there is so much space for growth and evolution. They are clearly still discovering their true sound but the potential is plain to see and on ‘Easy’, the band have embraced a heavier, more direct sound than on their debut EP ‘Take Some Time’.
‘Easy’ is a fun track and is highly effective, serving a clear purpose whilst providing a good four-minute listen. Though sometimes lacking in complexity, it left us wanting to hear their next singles as soon as possible. A little diversity will go a long way, but that is sure to come from the incredibly talented young band.
