Originality in music nowadays is hard to find, artists lack in finding ways musically to stand out amongst the rest. Bad Sounds a band from Bath, UK consisting of brothers Ewan and Cullum Merrett and 3 other members (Charlie, Olivia, and Sam) are getting much hype in recent times for their music, and Newest Track ‘Meat On My Bones’ proves why.
The band brings an original flare to indie-funk, adding all textures through guitars, bass, and hip-hop beats. ‘Meat On My Bones’ is a song that represents much more than just a song for the band. The song is so unique in style from beginning to end, opening with a poppy guitar but throwing that out the window with a bass drop that would be appreciated by all types of music fans. The band's vocalist Ewan Merret finds the perfect moment to enter the song with his vocals over a funky keyboard, Ewan’s vocal style is comparable to Damon Albarn on some of the best Gorillaz tracks. That isn’t the only Gorillaz reference I’ll make because the song includes some backup vocals that are similar to Gorillaz song Clint Eastwood but singles it out over a bass line that gives it it’s own flare.
The band also seem to be specialists of extraordinary changeups, using a bell to completely pause the song and come at us with more funk adding in a great guitar riff and tambourine to bring up the tempo, but the build up is complete with the three crashes that make room for the catchy chorus. The story behind the song being about a friend who got a tattoo when their dog died, seems to be a greater success than the band had ever imagined. The future is bright for the band and a future album could see some major success.
