The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - The Bohicas



More rock than dance and more alternative than indie, but apparently preferring to eschew genre labels, The Bohicas To Die For (Jan’15) lives up to its name.





A track with a laid back glam groove, this rocker hits the back of the net and you’re going home in a London ambulance. It’s dynamite release the socks and grab your cocks rock’n’roll.
 




This is just the third single from a band that are in many peoples headlights this year… “To Die For is a swaggering stomp of a song… channelling Marc Bolan, Led Zeppelin and Arctic Monkeys to riveting effect.” (Sunday Times) 

Shit you need to know:

Supporting the likes of Franz Ferdinand, Rival Sons and Royal Blood these four heavy rollers are from Essex, London. They began making music in 2013.

Kings of Leon, Ray Charles, The Beatles, The Strokes and The Vines are some of The Bohicas' influences.

To Die For was produced by Mark Rankin (Queens of the Stone Age) and Chris Merrick Hughes (Tears For Fears).

The first salvoes fired from this young bohemeth are XXX, Swarm and Crush Me.



 


 



I was put in mind of this London alternative rock band Elastica and one of the hits from their heyday Connection (1994). So fucking get some.
