TRACK REVIEW: KULPA – Bloodshot

It’s hard to resist a riff like the one KULPA’s Bloodshot gives you. A simple, powerful beat is followed by an epic riff, and you’re instantly into it. The band knows more than to overdo it however, dropping the riff out for the second verse, as the bass echoes it in miniature.

The chorus is inherently catchy, with the refrain “Talking away, but you only say nowt”, simple and anthemic. The breakdown comes and is the exact sort of thing that you hear and instantly think ‘this would be mint live’. That rings true of the whole song; the band has done an admirable job of translating the feelings of hearing such a powerful track live, onto record.
