JOE’s Song Of The Day #642: Fangclub ‘High’

Eric Lalor

Fangclub rocking their way back into your life.

Heralded Irish rock band Fangclub have released yet another incredible song, this time in the shape of ‘High’, taken from their new EP titled ‘True Love’.

Fangclub are most certainly on the ascent and with tunes like this, it’s not difficult to see why.

2018 has been a busy one for Fangclub; they’ve toured with The Cribs, Milk Teeth and Nervus and rocked the UK with their first headline tour.

2017 wasn’t bad either.

Not only did they release their self-titled debut album to mass acclaim, but they also toured the UK and Ireland with their own headline dates, as well as playing shows with Biffy Clyro, Muse, Pixies, and SWMRS.

‘High’ is a belter of a track and will have you doing imaginary stage dives and barging around an imaginary moshpit in no time. Might be an idea not to listen to this track on a packed bus.

Speaking honestly about the music and its lyrical content, Fangclub front man Steven King said of ‘High’: “I wrote ‘High’ while on tour with The Cribs. I think they influenced my writing on this from a visceral standpoint. It’s a little more ’70s in part; we tried to use old vintage amps, mics and pedals.”
