Baby Strange // Pleasure City review



Losing the chaos of their earlier singles Baby Strange’s latest release ‘Pure Pleasure’ shows an ever growing sense of musical maturity following on from their July release ‘California Sun’.

Ahead of a UK tour kicking off in London next month the Glaswegian band have released their 6th single and it really is one hell of track which I feel would be translated into a live performance very well. Starting off as it means to go on with snarling lyrics, heavy drumbeat and a menacing riff which comes together to give it a really sexy feel. ‘Oh I don’t need your pity, I found a way to the pleasure city’ make for a catchy chorus which just needs to be belted out and danced to.

In December the Glaswegians are opening for Slaves at two gigs including a massive gig at Brixton Academy alongside The Skints. Having seen them support slaves at Tunbridge Wells forum in February they set the tone for a blistering gig and were best support band I’ve seen this year, so to see they were supporting again really grew my anticipation.

It is a special track with an air of Black Rebel Motorcycle about it but with a bit more punch. With each single better than the last an album is surely on the horizon and I for one cannot wait.
