The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Circa Waves




If Circa Waves' Get Away (Dec’13) was a one hit wonder… no fucks given. Not even wristy’s. You could die happy after making a song like this. The riff in the intro calls to mind the Sex Pistols Anarchy In The UK and that's never a bad thing. While the band bring the fury the singer is letting slip a heartfelt, proper, love song.


 



There’s pop, rock, punk, garage and indie in this song so nobodies been left out. Comparisons are moot, analysis pointless. It’s the dog’s bollocks, guitar rock at its best. As she said last night, it doesn’t come better than this.
 



 
Circa Waves are banged up in Liverpool and have been ducking and diving since 2013. Get Away flew the coop as a stand-alone single and they have one EP, Young Chasers (June’14) to their credit.

Circa Waves would blag a copy of John Lennon, The Replacements, The Strokes and The Damned.

If you need to go on the lam, purloin a copy of T Shirt Weather, Young Chasers, Fossils and So Long before you go.

 





Sent down for another stretch? Fear not my friend we have some more dodgy critters on the roundtable. The Vaccines and Norsgaard (2011).
