Stubb – Under a Spell

stubb-under-a-spell

Stubb are a damn great band, really holding true to their Rock n Roll heritage with their sexy, groovy psychedelic vibes! Their first album still gets a regular play on the turntable and its still as fun as over a year ago when I got my hands on it. Which is why I am so disappointed that i have only just got round to giving this one a spin, maybe its laziness (but more likely that there has just been a shit ton of stuff out so far in 2013!) but it was well worth the listen as both tracks add something to new their sound and that something somewhat chunkier than normal.

Just 2 tracks are on this beautiful blue vinyl ‘Under the Spell’ and ‘Bullets Rain’. The first track leading you into a false sense of security with its lovely floaty intro before a massive stamper of a riff alongside beautiful Hammond organ sounds comes in with its ‘Beer in the Air’ singalong chorus. ‘Bullets Rain’ starts off straight away as an in your face tune and much more of a straight forward stoner feel to it but I could imagine this sort of belter as the perfect driving song (if I actually drove that is!)

These tunes are a lot bigger and brasher and if this is a sign of whats to come with album number 2 then I’m in!!
