I’m a sucker for tom-heavy drumming, and matinee’s latest offering – which features Pierluigi Ferantini of Velvet on guest vocals – has a thumping beat. It’s a great dark-tinged post-punk pop song with a surging chorus and sturdy four-four bassline, and the fact it’s strongly reminiscent of The Psychedelic Furs only goes in its favour.
B-side ‘Empty’ is also strong, but presents a more contemplative side of the band. It’s a good show all round.
