Vagabond – Don’t Wanna Run No More

• 2nd Aug 2009

Vagabond have next big thing written all over them if the steadily-growing hype is to be believed, and this effort sounds a sure thing to launch the soul-rockers into the singles chart. It’s built on a vintage soul sound, big keys and a tight drum beat, and the voice doesn’t let the mix down, Alex Vargas is a considerably talented singer and handles with panache the vocal demands of the band’s sound. Vargas has found himself a fine chorus, too, its one big and infectious enough to grab people’s attention, this is a giant track sure to become annoyingly familiar on the radio.
