Pop Cult - Feels Right

1.    Who are these foot soldiers of rock’n’roll?

Pop Cult are an indie rock band from Queensland, Australia. Feels Right (March'16) is the second single to soar off their as yet unnamed debut EP.


2. What’s cooking?

Feels Right slides along all retro trippy English inde vibes, heavy bass and background guitar flourishes. The chorus steps it on up and it goes a little gospel in the breakdown with handclaps. Familar but new.


3. Who do Pop Cult sound like?

Primal Scream, Teenage Fan Club and a splash of The Happy Mondays. Rolling Stone Australia were feeling Oasis and The Who. Trippers.


4. What have the press said about Feels Right?

“On the fast track to become Aussie indie rock royalty” – AAA Backstage.

“Oozing early 90’s rock, easy guitars and gospel type harmonies” – Rabbit Radio.

“The chorus is an absolute belter” – Adam Not Eve.

5. Which bands put the belt into Pop Cult’s belters?

Pop Cult’s main influences are The Velvet Undergound, Big Star, Teenage Fanclub and Electric Light Orchestra.


6. Why should I give Feels Right a rumble?

Feels Right pushes all the right retro-nineties buttons with fresh excitement and a message about rising up for the good fight.


7. Do Pop Cult have any more good ones?

The first single Gotta Keep Lovin' is a lovely little number with more easy-going English indie stylings.


8. Any more words?

Elliot Heinrich has said Feels Right is a “gospel jam, with a subversive social commentary. We’re encouraged to be passive and accept the way things are, but our generation have more power than ever to question and change things.”
 

“Do what feels wrong until it feels right”

Primal Scream are an indie rock band from Glascow, Scotland. Formed in 1982 they have eleven long players in the vault and are still going strong. Screamadelica (1991) is their most popular album, selling 3 million copies, and Movin On Up is track one on the album. Pitchfork called Movin’ On Up an “immense dance-rock single” and Sreamadelica “half strutting with confidence, half yearning for transcendence.”

“I’m moving on up now, getting out of the darkness”
