TRACK REVIEW: Rokkari – Home

Mackems delight, as Sunderland-based indie rock four-piece Rokkari release their newest single, Home. The band have gained a bit of momentum of late, and the young artists are off to a flying start, with a sold-out show at The Bunker and various other venues across the region.

Home is carried forward by a brilliant lead guitar riff, with a commanding lead vocal performance layered over it. Although my favourite part of the mix are the drums, which pack a hell of a punch and provide the multiple crescendos with a real dynamic energy to them. Influences of Paramore and Rage Against The Machine are worn proudly, as Home is a great introduction to one of Sunderland’s newest rock groups, spawned – as many great things in Sunderland have been – by the Young Musician’s Project.
