Yeah Detroit partly reminder me of Slick Shoes. They play high speed, hi-octane pop-punk with widdly guitar parts and lots of vocal harmonies. It’s a bit rough and ready and a bit raw in places, but for a first stab this is very good stuff and shows lots of promise. For those unfamiliar with the band they reside in Scotland and after years in other bands, have come together to play a passionate brand of pop-punk that’s based on singalongs more than breakdowns.
Generally it’s performed well; the songs are all of a good standard and the levels of musicianship are high. There’s no reliance on the more fashionable pop-punk side of things so there are no breakdowns/beatdowns – this is just poppy, fun stuff that tries to make you sing along. My only criticism is that sometimes the band try and play a bit quick and it sounds a little messy; the drums are perhaps a bit too fast and a little out of synch on odd occasions, but I’ll put this down to youthful exuberance. Other than that, Yeah Detroit are certainly a band to watch.
