Within the first few seconds of hearing this I definitely felt an Of Monsters and Men vibe. By the time the second chorus appears, you’re bound to be belting out the lyrics. Xing, a beach pop band from London and Los Angeles shared their track on SoundCloud about a year ago now. Judging by their Facebook, I’d say they’re worth keeping an eye out for — and not just for the aesthetically pleasing pictures.
The track itself has some great vocals that carry some seriously cool lyrics. I only had to hear it a couple of times to come to love the lines: ‘Don’t listen to the other side / Cause they’re only gonna make you pay’. If you’re not really looking for deep lyrics, then you can just enjoy the light and bouncy tune.
If you want to see more of their stuff or get updates, follow the band on Twitter, like them on Facebook or check out their website
