With That Knife - Cold Blooded by DrownedInMcr

Exclusive DiS Manc download this time out comes from a band who’ve had something of a quiet summer since a busy first few months of 2011 that saw them supporting Napoleon IIIrd, Trophy Wife and Johnny Foreigner respectively as well as putting on a stellar show during May’s Sounds From The Other City Festival. ‘Cold Blooded’ however is a firm return from the periphery, picking up where last year’s debut single ‘This Place, A Thousand Times’ – featured here - left off in emerging from the discordant melee of math and punk influences that marked their early demos to appear hewn-down, slick and dazzling in a new pop-orientated direction. That said, the clever bastards still manage to log hooks into the cerebrum without settling on anything so mundane as conventional song structure, splitting ‘Cold Blooded’ into first a swaggering verse and chorus and then filliping into a tumbling repeated coda that snowballs with momentum before stopping as contrastingly abruptly as it crept into view.
The five-piece are set to confirm a handful of Autumn dates in the next few weeks that you can check here; first date confirmed however is in support of Young Legionnaire at The Ruby Lounge on October 6th.
