It’s been raining for a couple of hours now so goodbye to summer sunsets and welcome to the 6 month Irish winter. It’s at times like this that we need to ingest uppers and today my drug of choice comes courtesy of the Swedish duo of Erik Sunbring and Jacob Lind who together make up the smallest yet most tuneful Marching Band in all of Europe. They’ve been composing together for years and after a series of EP’s decided it was time to make something a little more wholesome. So out popped ‘Spark Large’ and with that a thousand new melodies were born. And winning ones they are too as ‘Aggravate’ so amply proves. Damn, I hate waiting for choruses but in the case of Marching Band the lead up tends to be just as entertaining. This is big and bold and woven from several sucrose laden shoestrings. So even though summer’s over you should just forget about the dying of the light because we’ve got the effervescent sound of Marching Band to take us merrily through the winter. KD
