Sounding like a glistening synth rock anthem that’s infused with the feeling and enamour of an 80s glam rock project, Louis and the Shakes addictive anthem ‘TRAILBLAZR’ is a delightful mix of the old and new. Driven by a powerful vocal performance that hooks you in with an enthusiasm and confidence, the live setup is only enhanced by a gleaming resplendence on the production that makes the entire tune bring the best of classic rock with an indie sheen that’s still distinctively modern. The pulsating up tempo arrangement builds with a fervour and aggression that has you thoroughly engaged and rocking your head out to throughout.
It’s good old fashioned rock and roll in spirit and in emotion, but with just the right amount of innovative quirk to fashion itself as its own style.
