TRACK REVIEW: NTGB – Burn Down The Now

From the land of the rising Mackem emerges NTGB – a band following the DIY musical path. I have a lot of respect and support for bands who choose this difficult route. Burn Down The Now has a retro, yet modern feel to it. A song focused on optimism and resilience, vocalist Gaz Brown sounds not too dissimilar to The Coral’s frontman, James Skelly, and this is no bad thing.

The track has a late 60s vibe, enhanced by Andy Trainor’s understated Doors-esque Hammond organ burbling away behind rock ‘n’ roll guitars and drums. In fact, Mark Cliff’s drums would have been at home on a Buddy Holly and The Crickets track. Give this three and a half minutes of your time.
