28 Costumes "Fun, Angular Indie Pop" Room Thirteen

Great review from Room Thirteen

"28 Costumes are just one of the groups bolstering Liverpool's musical reputation in the year where the city has hosted a wealth of musical events as European Capital of Culture. Their angular indie with fierce vocal harmonies is catchy and sure to hit the kind of buttons that make the band radio friendly in the same vein as Bloc Party and Art Brut. The gruff, driven guitar tone of the chorus, matched with thick vocal harmonies give the tune an attractive edge, while later a slicing guitar solo picks up between the reflective verses, giving the tune everything a classic indie tune could desire. Of course this poses the question of whether 'Erika' is a unique song; it would be impossible to say that there aren't hints of generic indie about the track, but it remains interesting and bside 'Death Mask's sweet keyboard riffs, along with a forceful guitar pattern, make the tune stand out enough to say that 28 Costumes deserve to be the next Liverpudlian success. 28 Costumes' playful, arty indie is infinitely fun and sure to be equally as entertaining live."
