Wood Burnt Red are one of the bands
that we will be looking forward to seeing at this weeks The Long Road Festival
as they make their TLR debut on Friday night – on The Front Porch for the Ariat
take over hosted by Two Ways Home
To make the weekend even more
special they are releasing their new single – Best Things – on Friday too.
As we have come to expect from
Wood Burnt Red, the song is about real life – in this case the struggle to have
it all, and the expense that goes with that!
Many of us can probably relate to the lyrics
I got a nice home, that I don’t own,
And a car on the drive that’s not paid for.
It’s Wood Burnt Red, so it’s got
a heavy sound, its got gruff vocal delivery but this time they have broken away
a little from their Malvern roots and gone quite American with the sound, especially
in the intro and opening verse. As they
hit the chorus they sound more like themselves and a little more comfortable, and
there’s a lovely instrumental break where they sound like they are just having
some fun with guitars and keys!
Unashamedly starting out as a “Dad
Band”, each release and each stage performance sees the boys getting more polished
with their playing and songwriting – but the songwriting hasn’t lost any of its
realism or integrity, as they are not afraid to tackle real topics head on – which
has included personal appearance in the past, and the difficulties of the modern,
materialistic world that we all live in.
The Long Road isn’t the only festival
this summer for Wood Burnt Red, having played main stage at Buckle and Boots,
Black Deer with the BCMF in Blackpool to come
Best Things, the new single from Wood Burnt Red, is available to download and stream from Friday 23 August.
