| Review: The Beat Poets - G.I. |
| Saturday, 07 June 2008 |
 Ireland has always had a lot to offer musically with massive bands and massive anthems (usually drinking anthems!). But in 2008 Irish music belongs to ‘The Beat Poets' no doubt! This is a band that formed in 2005 and in just 3 years has rocketed to success beyond belief. They're sound is totally refined, its perfect, if they were engine oil they'd be Castrol GTX!
The song starts very strong with nice guitar rifts and some gentle lyrics, this is then thrown away and replaced by heavier guitars and more powerful lyrics with an excellent back up from the drums. The chorus is catchy and very easy to remember, the guitars are simply amazing and the drums fit perfectly giving this track that ‘perfect' feeling. ‘G.I' is a pure rock modern classic and I think it has everything going for it to become a summer anthem. ‘The Beat Poets' obviously took their time, thought about where they wanted to go and created what can only be described as a masterpiece. ‘G.I' is just one of those tracks that you play again and again, especially if you want to rock out and go a bit mental. ‘The Beat Poets' are destined for great, great success, they have everything you want to hear from a band, a real lyricist, an excellent drummer and two amazing guitarists and a bassist genius who can all fit in and play together in perfect harmony. ‘The Beat Poets' will be going for it this summer so I suggest you get to where they are and show these guys the most support possible, they down right deserve every rave review they get, just simply amazing! Listen to 'G.I.' |
