Channelling gospel influenced rock 'n' roll and based in the West Midlands, The Americas are aiming to fill your playlists for the next few months. Starting on the 1st of June, the trio will release a new single on the first Friday of every month. Got that, yeah? These singles will then form part of a six-track EP titled 'Guitar Music is Dead' released on the 7th of September. It's time to get to know The Americas because they aren't going away anytime soon.
From the off, it's easy to pick out the band's influences. With guitars sounding like The Rolling Stones and vocals nodding towards Bob Dylan, The Americas clearly draw from the 70s era. Even though the band wear their influences truly on their sleeves, their sound is rather quite original. There is a definite swagger in the way The Americas sound and it comes across brilliantly on 'Come on Out'.
This song is fun, catchy and brilliantly melodic. The bright instrumentation throughout complements the lead vocal perfectly and the added pianos and guitar leads add new textures when needed in the choruses. The band's use of dynamics is a triumph considering the song never really lets up over its five-minute runtime. It's an infectious track that is bound to keep people grooving and shaking.
This track is a brilliant statement from a band with big ambitions. It's surprising to hear they are unsigned because 'Come on Out' is a highly accomplished effort. Imagine listening to this track whilst driving an open top classic car and it'll take you to places you can only dream of.
