Rising from a northern city with such great heritage can be a daunting task. How could oneself live up to The Beatles or Echo & The Bunnymen?

The Cheap Thrills are looking to divert your attention to a refreshing face that brings all of Liverpool’s indie roots to a electric burst of infectious guitar riffs, ravishing reverb and sci-fi, sparkling synths.

The opening track 'Tides' visits a space-like sound, teaming an anthem-worthy chorus with infectious hummings and extra-terrestrial synths, warping like comets racing across the night sky. The hook is brilliantly euphoric, adding a contagiousness similar to old-timers Kasabian and Hard-Fi.

'Machine' is the second track, and pulls you straight into a gritty grasp that sees The Cheap Thrills dip in and out of racing riffs and electrifying energy. Originally released over a year ago, 'Machine' is the only track from their EP that has been heard, and allows The Cheap Thrills to bombard the listener’s ears with fresh and contagious indie that takes us straight back to 2010.

'Same Old Faces' dips into a more infectious sound that takes a note from The Wombats’ book. The reverb-heavy vocals create a lo-fi sound. Fusing this with the intricately infectious riffs and northern-sounding vocals, you get a Liverpudlian band who are reviving indie with a refreshingly nostalgic sound.

Last but not least there’s 'Setting Sun'. Instantly cleaner, The Cheap Thrills change their tune to give a more euphoric and fuller sound. Much like driving a convertible car along a beautiful coast line, The Cheap Thrills take their psychedelic influences higher, fusing it with small doses of their electronic input. While still sticking to their dominant guitar sound, “Setting Sun” acts as a great closing track, emphasising The Cheap Thrills’ ability to revitalise a genre that some say has been and gone.
