Give - Boots Of Faith - 7"

GIVE - BOOTS OF FAITH - 7" BLACK VINYL

Black vinyl. DC’s GIVE offer up two more excellent revolution summer influenced jams with SWIZ as the obvious comparison. This is no little feat but these 5 lads manage to hold their own against a band that set the bar very high in my book. POWER oozes from both the music and the vocals at no expense to style and melody. With a 12” and another 7” under their belt, these songs might just be their strongest to date. Recorded at Inner Ear studio – where else!!!
This is the second single from Give this summer, and it's twice as good as the first. While "Heaven is Waiting" was recorded in the same Inner Ear Studio sessions as this one, it featured the first two songs they wrote and practiced as the current incarnation of the band. Essentially, "Boots of Faith" is the first glimpse as to what we can expect from Give in the future. While they may still wear their eclectic influences proudly/loudly on their sleeves, these guys seem more focused and in control than before. Highlights: the main riff on side A is haunting and the ending of the B side is killer.
