Just brimming with so much life and love, CATES brings out a feel-good and powerful indie rock anthem that’s just loaded with a spark and enthusiasm that’s deliciously fun. A closer listen at the lyrics also has you appreciating the tongue-in-cheek humour and targeting that CATES throws towards those indie rock starlets who position themselves as allies and “nice guys” when there’s been a huge uproar over the rising allegations and cases thrown against them by women. Taking pot shots at that narcissism and hypocrisy through the sound of those that often are the accused party, CATES delivers perhaps one of the more honest and in line with the spirit of indie rock tunes that you’re bound to come across.
Delectably melodic and hilariously fun, Nice Guy is an anthem that’s fun to groove to and ironic to enjoy in the best of ways.
