The Widows - False Idols - Radio Edit
The Widows blow the roof off the place with latest post punk rock single, 'False Idols - Radio Edit'! Strap in for a high-octane, distortion-drenched, psych-groove-infused ride from this London-based group that knows no calm. In fact, their at the epicentre of the storm, drawing us all into their brilliant, hard-hitting post-punk rock sound. Their music seems to be an alarming representation of the mood over the pond in the Uk right now. Unabashed, raw and in your face. That's the vibe. But underneath, a whole other story. 'False Idols' opens hard, hitting you like a runaway train with driving distortion riffs, crisp, thundering drums and unique, gripping vocals. He sings of liberation, of no longer being in the control of voices/forces that intend to rule you. His vocal tone is deep and melodious and contrasts beautifully with the aggressive punk arrangements, which he laps up with sheer delight and panache. Much like the theme of the cult film 'V for Vendetta' this track rises and goes hard, implying the impending fall of the system in the face of unrelenting rage. Listen in closer and you'll find yourself immediately hooked into the energy cultivated here. We imagine this is what people back in the 70s felt when they saw the Doors live for the first time. Over its 3 compact mins, that fly by, you're thoroughly energized by 'False Idols' high-octane vibe. The Widows are a gem of a find for those who like to live on the edge a little, lots to like here. Keep listening! The Widows are: Kim Le Tan – vocals/synth Francesco Manzi – guitar/vocals Roger Salsas – bass/vocals Vince Johnson – drums
