SONG REVIEW- TRASH HEADS- SET IT RIGHT







Alt- rockers' Trash Heads have released their latest single "Set It Right", taken from the upcoming new album Vandalism.

The four-piece formed in 2014 in Kent. They were created by three school friends, who went to the same school as Mick Jagger. They have been busy writing and recording their follow up to the 2015 debut effort Skyscraper.

"Set It Right" is an upbeat track about finding light at the end of a dark tunnel, which relates to our current circumstances with Covid. The opening grungy riff builds to melodic pop vocals, heavy guitars and pounding drums. The song's overall message conveyed through a juxtaposition of dreamy guitar breaks in contrast to thick, distorted riffs.




The band says of  the track;
"The song was written around the main guitar riff which starts the song - we thought it had a Nirvana vibe to it and is quite dark,so the lyrics and vocal melody reflected that. However, the chorus that sprang out from there is very happy/positive, it became an anthem for looking forward to a bright future out of the darkness we currently find ourselves. It was written pre-Covid, but has definitely taken on new meaning since! We don't like to write our songs/lyrics to be too on-the-nose so leave a lot to people's imagination or interpretation."
