In a similar way to how Husker Du and Dinosaur Jr. would inspire acts like Superchunk and Pavement, Modern Baseball and Joyce Manor appear to have brought an inspirational rise to some great young bands in the last few years. One of these acts happen to be a small London indie punk trio called Fresh. For the past weekend, the whimsical guitar melody from their latest single, ‘I’ll Be Back’, has clutched my senses.

The music itself comes off as up beat and melodiously charming, whilst the lyrics and themes are melancholically sincere. It’s this contrast which hits a one’s emotional psyche with a serrated edge. Even the video reflects this, painting a vivid picture for the track’s themes. It testifies that as soon as their debut album drops next month, Fresh will be another band from the healthy UK DIY scene who’ll be ready to take off and touch everyone’s hearts.
