Originating from a university project, Paisley band Drive-By Argument does not have the manufactured sound you might imagine. Four years and an eclectic mix of influences later, the band has released their self-titled album.
Electro, upbeat opening track The Sega Method draws comparisons to Bloc Party which can be said of other parts of the album. It is a powerful introduction to the band and the pace is continued in ‘Dance Like No Ones Watching’ with pleading sing-a-long chorus ‘So hold on….so hold on….’
Frontman Stewart Brock’s vocal is stripped back and the Scottish accent comes through in some songs showing another side to the band apart from the syth, electro basslines peppered with beeps and blips. The band are like a grown-up version of The Dykeenies, with passionate, heart felt lyrics and in less frantic tracks such as ‘How The Trees Sleep’, uplifting melodies and vocal harmonies give the band another dimension.
Each song brings its own merits and creates an album which is difficult to classify – indie, emo, electro, dance, pop – it is all there and moulded into an impressive. After a string of high profile support slots and festival appearances, 2008 could be the year for this quirky quintet.
