Single Review - Afraid To Fall - Gasoline and Matches

 

Gasoline and Matches are always busy performing, running their writer’s round in Birmingham, playing for festivals, squeezing in their day jobs in music but fortunately for all of us they have managed to find some studio time.

The result is Afraid To Fall, which is easily their most polished and professional track to date.  Gasoline and Matches are going from strength to strength – this year already they played a blazing headline set at Buckle and Boots and have just been announced as playing at The Long Road Festival.

Sally and Steve have really dived into this track telling a familiar story – in their own words:

Afraid To Fall is the anthem for anyone stuck in the friend zone

A strong musical opening which grabs your attention from the outset, the guitar giving Western vibes.  The vocal comes in with perfect harmonies from the first line, with a breathy feel as the line fades.

The chorus is catchy and will make you want to join in, and perhaps reflect.

Have you ever thought about me

Have you ever talked about me

I really need to know

Its nice to hear more of Steve’s voice in this track, but without compromising on the guitar riffs that we have all come to expect and love from the duo

We can all recognise the feeling in the song, but Gasoline and Matches hope that it will empower you to take the leap, and not be afraid to fall.

Afraid to Fall, the new single from Gasoline and Matches is available to download and stream from Friday 2 June.  Take the leap and support independent artists.
