We know the Creekers like to
give a big stage performance and that can be witnessed in the accompanying
video to the latest single – On The Line.
Everything we have learnt to
expect from the band is here. A big opening showing off their musical skills, a
long stroke of the electric guitar grabs your attention before the catchy beat takes
over.
In the video the boys have cleverly put
together images from all of their gigs: Nash Nights, Buckle & Boots, Millport and Luna.
Silverball
Country wants to say Goodbye and good luck to Jack and welcome George into the
band; we saw you at New Year and think you have blended in perfectly albeit
with the long hair 😉 High
energy, good fun and friendship can be seen on stage, encouraging the audience
to sing and dance along.
The music mellows a touch as
we hear Jamie’s vocals, he sings about nights out in the bar-room, but the band
gives it the contradictory line “I’ve spent too many nights at home alone”.
So, what’s on the line? it’s
a relationship!
The character in our song,
presumably coming home after a night out explains to his partner that he never
looked at another, but he may have drunk too much whiskey, the call of Jack and
Jim too strong to avoid. He recognises
all too late, he should have stayed home and he has jeopardised things.
A couple of instrumental sections
punctuate the song, the skills of Yannick and Dean complementing each other. The
electric guitar also help create the feeling of being a little drunk, the sound
spins you around and become a little disorientated.
The repeated line “Our love
is on the line” builds tension in the song, will something bad happen? The
final time is excellently executed by Jamie with the full power of his voice
and the rocky edge.
The song ends on the chorus,
but despite the “it could have gone better” country storyline, you still feel
upbeat. The Creeker Boys have a unique, authentic sound- different to
everything else out there.
Nothing is on the line with
this single, we are sure that you’ll want to be a CreekHead and catch a live
show soon.
On The Line, the new single from Backwoods Creek is available on all major platforms from 29 May
