TRACK REVIEW: DAWKS – Be Someone (Live at Blank Studios)

Dawks has been on the scene for a little while, just one man and his trusty guitar. He’s now made the upgrade to a full band set-up and what better way to crash into 2025 with this new live version of Be Someone, which certainly blew away the post-Christmas cobwebs when I heard it on Boxing Day. 

It’s catchy, it’s immediate, and drives itself along via an engine room of solidly played drums and no nonsense bass and guitar, with a cheeky bit of synth-pad thrown in for good measure. The guitar riff is memorable, sounding like a double-speed version of the classic Killing Joke track Requiem. Roz recommends! See DAWKS perform live at The Georgian Theatre on Friday 31st January.
