The Strifes were formed in Southampton by best mates Taylor Hopper and Kai Croissant. Coming together just before the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the best friends took the opportunity to evaluate what direction they wanted the band go in, developing songs and set about adding two new new members in Callum Reilly and Adam Cooper.
Their debut single Talk To Me was released in July that’s approaching 2k streams and is a song thats a powerful anthem full of relatable lyrics and catchy melodies.
Since the turn of the year they’ve supported Reverend and The Makers and are set to support Little Man Tate at the Engine Rooms in Southampton.
The new single, Dancing in The Wind is due for release on Thursday 12th October, that’s full of 90s swagger and bravado.
From the opening guitar riff you just know that this song is going to be an absolute banger. The guitar riff is the focal point of the song and is full swagger and is backed by a stomping drum beat, which mixed together provides a stomping pace and rhythm reminiscent of early Oasis b-sides.
The vocal is fantastic, really melodic and magnificent that soars above the energy being created by the song.
The chorus is euphoric and is a call to arms to embrace life, take it by the horns and live it to its maximum.
“Keep on moving, keep on grooving, life’s too short to be standing still, if you don’t play the game, then know you’ll never win, and if you want to find me I’m dancing in the wind”
The guitar riffs are scintillating and will be stuck in your head, and is the type of song that when played live, will leave the dance floor shaking: it’s no holes barred Rocknroll. The guitar solo builds into a scorching crescendo that will leave you in awe of the musicianship on display.
Dancing In The Wind is euphoric and addictive that will keep you hooked throughout. It’s full of swagger throughout and with songs like this in the locker The Strifes are going to be a band that will be impossible to ignore.
Dancing In The Wind is released on Thursday 12th October and can be pre-saved here.
