Replica / K.O.

1 Replica
2 K.O.

Boasting one of the catchiest (and funkiest) riffs I’ve heard this year ‘Replica’ blasts out of the stereo like a monster truck late for the demolition derby. Flaunting the Ga*Ga*s now inimitable guitar style and Tommy’s hauntingly powerful vocals, ‘Replica’ drags you in to a world where angst sounds more like a party and Rock N Roll (in the GnR sense of the word) is alive and kicking.

Frenetic Fretwork and brooding basslines are the order of the day for the track that is destined to be the set closer when they’re headlining Reading (give it a year or two).

Double A-side ‘K.O’ is reminiscent of Californian rock, featuring some truly gorgeous harmonies and making less than subtle nods to the true forefathers of UK Rock n Roll. It is a slightly more sedate affair than its fellow title track but don’t think that means less depth or energy. Managing somehow to blend the better elements of the token ballad with a killer punked up riff and still leaving you wanting to jump around this little gem makes the prospect of a Ga*Ga*s debut album all the more exciting.
