Music Box series five continues with Circa Waves, who released their third album What's it Like Over There? last week.
The London/Liverpool band have come a long way from the indie-rock of their debut Young Chasers, and have now landed on a sound that fuses their classic rock influences with a bigger, anthemic pop feel.
In a review for The Independent I wrote that the single "Movies" is "bursting with the same kind of vim as a Nineties high school film".
"For the most part, Circa Waves prefer to channel youthful disillusionment with an aggressive guitar line (bound to open up one or two moshpits) than any grand lyrical statement. They're not trying to set the world do rights so much as offer fans an outlet for escapism."
Frontman Kieran Shudall and lead guitarist Joe Falconer swung by the Music Box studio to play three original songs, including two off the new album plus their single "T-Shirt Weather" off the Top 10 album Young Chasers.
Thanks to: Kieran, Joe, Jordan Shepley, PIAS and The Independent video team.
