Playing with
elements of Shoegaze, Madchester, Britpop and psychedelia, London quintet SULK
take you on a trip back in time by channelling the baggy feel of the Stone
Roses while adopting the hazy whirrs of shoegazing bands like Ride while also reviving classic British song writing like that of The Verve, another band that have shown obvious influence on Sulk. Instead of letting
the bands influences dictate their song writing completely, Sulk have avoided
making weak imitations of their predecessors, concocting a smorgasbord of nearly
all things 90s. Anthemic ‘Wishes’ serves as an example with its explosive
chorus and celestial droning.
It’s clear this
young band is aiming for a colossal stadium sound, and demonstrated by their
releases so far, they’ve already reached their goal.
